Fibre Channel          An {ANSI} {standard}       originally intended for high-speed {SAN}s connecting       {servers}, {disc arrays}, and {backup} devices, also later       adapted to form the {physical layer} of {Gigabit Ethernet}.          Development work on Fibre channel started in 1988 and it was       approved by the ANSI standards committee in 1994, running at       100Mb/s.   More recent innovations have seen the speed of Fibre       Channel SANs increase to 10Gb/s.   Several topologies are       possible with Fibre Channel, the most popular being a number       of devices attached to one (or two, for redundancy) central       Fibre Channel switches, creating a reliable infrastructure       that allows servers to share storage arrays or tape libraries.          One common use of Fibre Channel SANs is for high availability       databaseq clusters where two servers are connected to one       highly reliable {RAID} array.   Should one server fail, the       other server can mount the array itself and continue       operations with minimal {downtime} and loss of data.          Other advanced features include the ability to have servers       and {hard drives} seperated by hundreds of miles or to rapidly       {mirror} data between servers and hard drives, perhaps in       seperate geographic locations.          {Fibre Channel Industry Association       (http://www.fibrechannel.org)} (FCIA).          (2003-09-27)

Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop          (FC-AL) A fast serial bus interface       standard intended to replace {SCSI} on high-end {servers}.          FC-AL has a number of advantages over SCSI.   It offers higher       speed: the base speed is 100 {megabytes} per second, with 200,       400, and 800 planned.   Many devices are dual ported, i.e., can       be accessed through two independent ports, which doubles speed       and increases fault tolerance.   Cables can be as long as 30 m       (coaxial) or 10 km (optical).   FC-AL enables       {self-configuring} and {hot swapping} and the maximum number       of devices on a single port is 126.   Finally, it provides       software compatibility with SCSI.          Despite all these features FC-AL is unlikely to appear on       desktops anytime soon, partly because its price, partly       because typical {desktop computers} would not take advantage       of many of the advanced features.   On these systems {FireWire}       has more potential.          [Current status?   Reference?]          (1999-09-12)
