Overview
This book offers an accessible, tutorial overview of how to use and deploy fibre channel. Following the standard's 5 layer architecture, the book provides guidance on the ANSI standard, the physical transmission level and interfaces to IP and SCSI. But motivating the entire discussion is how to ""use"" the standard in deploying storage networks, accessing mass storage, and creating local area networks capable of handling huge streams of video and media.

Reviews
""Read this Book before implementing a Storage Area Network. September 29, 1999 Reviewer: A reader from Philadelphia, Pa. The Fibre Channel book by Alan Benner is an excellent book. Understanding the theory behind the Fibre Channel protocol is necessary before deploying a SAN into your infrastructure. This book gave me a look inside the protocol, from a designers perspective. Considering how technical the subject of the book is, I found the book incredibly easy to follow, and the Figures represented in the book were precise and representative of the text. This is definitely recommended reading for any System Administrator looking to stay in demand.
