Versatility of Fibre Channel: Multi-Protocol Magic

**Presented by Patty Driever, IBM; Howard Johnson, Broadcom**

### About this Talk

Storage networking consumers are well aware of the classic benefits of Fibre Channel as a dedicated storage networking solution. It provides reliable and lossless data transfer, along with high availability and redundancy.

What is less known is that Fibre Channel supports several Upper Layer Protocols (ULPs), including SCSI, FICON, NVMe, Avionics, and RDMA.

In this webinar, we explore the FC-4 layer of the Fibre Channel architecture, which provides the services used by the various ULPs deployed in Fibre Channel products.

Join us for an in-depth exploration into:

– The history of Fibre Channel’s versatility
– Fibre Channel architectural layers
– Overview of the current FC-4 transports: FCP, FC-SB, FC-NVMe, FC-RDMA

Attendees of the webinar will gain a well-rounded understanding of Fibre Channel technology and become familiar with its broad scope and capabilities.
