Fibre Channel is not the only SAN technology—“Fibre Channel” and “SAN” are
not synonymous:
Other technologies besides Fibre Channel have been used—and
continue to be used—to build SANs.
Fibre Channel has been applied to other specialized applications, with
implementations addressing the video/broadcast industry and the
avionics industry.
Today, most SANs are built on Fibre Channel, and Fibre Channel is most
commonly used to build SANs. That may not be the case tomorrow.
