What to Expect

The switch to 4.25 Gbit/s Fibre Channel in both disk drives and the SAN fabric will offer the opportunity to nearly double performance in today's SAN applications. However, doubling the clock rate will have a set of technical and cost challenges associated with it. Getting an early start on designing robust systems with excellent signal integrity will greatly improve the time-to-market of the new systems. Reducing the cost on the new technology will enable these new systems to be offered at competitive pricing.
This webinar offers the attendee an opportunity to learn about solutions to the 4.25 Gbit/s challenge
