What is Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology primarily used for connecting computer data storage to servers. It is commonly used in storage area networks (SANs) in enterprise environments to provide reliable, high-bandwidth, low-latency access to storage devices.
What other technologies are related to Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel Competitor Technologies
iSCSI
iSCSI is a competing block-level protocol for storage networking, using TCP/IP networks instead of Fibre Channel.
NFS
NFS is a file-level protocol for network storage, a competitor to Fibre Channel, which primarily handles block-level storage.
FCoE
FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is a competing protocol that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks, aiming to replace traditional Fibre Channel infrastructure.
SMB/CIFS
SMB/CIFS is a file-level protocol for network storage and file sharing, often used as an alternative to Fibre Channel-based SANs for file-based access.
NAS
NAS (Network Attached Storage) competes with Fibre Channel SANs, as it provides file-level access over a network, typically using Ethernet, rather than block-level access via Fibre Channel.
CIFS
CIFS is a file-level protocol for network storage and file sharing, often used as an alternative to Fibre Channel-based SANs for file-based access.
InfiniBand
InfiniBand is a competing high-speed interconnect technology often used in HPC and data centers as an alternative to Fibre Channel.

SCSI
SCSI is a command set used by Fibre Channel. Fibre Channel is a transport protocol that can carry SCSI commands.
SAN
SAN (Storage Area Network) is a broader concept where Fibre Channel often plays a key role as the transport protocol. Fibre Channel is a technology used to build a SAN.
E-Series
NetApp E-Series storage systems can utilize Fibre Channel for connectivity and data transport.
