FC
FC (Fibre Channel) is a high-speed networking technology used primarily for storage networking. FC is characterized by distance flexibility and high data transfer rates, making it a popular choice for Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructure.

FC provides connectivity between storage devices and servers in a network topology. It can support point-to-point, switching, and loop configurations, allowing it to be adapted to different network structures. To organize a high-speed network, FC uses a set of protocols that enable data transfer at speeds ranging from 133 Mbps to 128 Gbps.
FC versus traditional networking technologies
Unlike traditional networking technologies, which can be limited by distance and speed, FC is a high-speed, reliable and scalable storage networking solution.
The Role of FC in Data Transfer
FC plays an important role in data transfer, especially in environments where high-speed data transfer is required. The technology provides a reliable solution for connecting servers and storage devices, enabling fast and reliable access to stored data.
