“Fibre Channel A set of Storage Area Networking (SAN) standards for a serial I/O bus capable of transferring data between two ports at 100 Mb/s (FC100), 200 Mb/s (FC200), 400 Mb/s (FC400) with standards proposals to go to 1000 Gb/s. Note that 1000 Mb/s is equivalent to 1 Gb/s). Fibre Channel supports point to point, arbitrated loop, and switched topologies. Fibre Channel was completely developed through industry cooperation, unlike SCSI, which was developed by a vendor and submitted for standardization after the fact.”
