Abstract

When storage networks first became popular starting around 1997, the term generally meant block storage on a Fibre Channel (FC) network. The reason was twofold: first, Fibre Channel was seen as the only dedicated storage networking technology and second, anyone building a storage network generally wanted it for highperformance block storage.
