The SCSI protocol known as Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) uses an underlying Fibre Channel connection. The Fibre Channel standards define a high-speed data transport method that can be used to link workstations, mainframes, supercomputers, storage systems, and displays. Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology that transfers data at rates up to 128 Gbps between data centres, computer servers, switches, and storage. It was created to address the requirement for a dependable and scalable high-throughput and low-latency protocol and interface, which was left unmet by the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) and High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI). With a low-latency protocol and interface, Fibre Channel is more dependable and scalable than SCSI and HIPPI. The critical components of IT infrastructure are networks and their components. Various networks, gadgets, and systems make up the enterprise IT infrastructure.
Fibre Channel is particularly well suited for linking storage controllers, discs, and servers to shared storage systems. The storage area network (SAN) Fibre Channel interface was developed (SANs).
Fiber Channel provides point-to-point, switched, and loop interfaces to deliver lossless, sorted raw block data. Fibre Channel has taken the role of SCSI as the transmission link between servers and clustered storage devices because it is currently many times quicker. The Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) allows SCSI commands and data units to be transmitted via fibre channel networks. It is intended to work with other protocols, such as the Internet Protocol (IP), storage area network protocols and SCSI.
Along with RDMA over Ethernet and InfiniBand, Fibre Channel is an alternative primarily used in high-performance computing environments to transport data in accordance with the nonvolatile memory express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) specification to enhance flash storage performance over a network.
