VxFS cluster functionality runs optimally on a Fibre Channel fabric. Fibre Channel technology provides the fastest, most reliable, and highest bandwidth connectivity currently available. By employing Fibre Channel technology, SFCFSHA can be used in conjunction with the latest Veritas Storage Area Network (SAN) applications to provide a complete data storage and retrieval solution.
