Advances in Technology—Redefining Large Shared Storage Systems
Todd Roth · SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal · 2007
With the adoption of high definition (HD) and its commensurate requirement for increased storage capacity and bandwidth, the need for scalability has increased. Because of its deterministic performance and dual-ported redundancy, Fiber Channel is the leading technology for storage connection and storage area network (SAN) development (see Annex 2 SAN Storage Interfaces). By applying the latest advances in Fiber Channel technology, larger, more capable, and more redundant systems can be built to meet this need.
