Why Fibre Channel?
The FCIA is committed to delivering a broad base of Fibre Channel infrastructure technology to support a wide array of applications within the mass storage and IT-based arenas.
FCIA working groups and committees focus on specific aspects of the technology, targeting both vertical and horizontal markets including data storage, video, networking and storage area networking (SAN) management.
Today's data explosion presents unprecedented challenges incorporating a wide range of application requirements such as database and file management, transaction processing, data warehousing, imaging, integrated audio/video, networked storage, real-time computing, collaborative projects and CAD/CAE. Fibre Channel is simply the easiest, most reliable solution for information storage and retrieval.
Fibre Channel Standards
The Technical Committee T11, which is the committee within NCITS, is responsible for Device Level Interfaces. T11 has been producing interface standards for high-performance and mass storage applications since the 1970s. Currently, T11's program of work includes three families of standards:
The Technical Committee T11 has its own web site providing access to past and current specifications, as well as drafts being considered for the future of fibre channel technology.
