1. A low latency block oriented data transfer mechanism for storage centralization. Only used in Storage Area Networks.
2. A networking protocol designed by the server industry so they don’t have to communicate with networking people who know more than they do. Similar to Token Ring in its fervent belief and passion as a superior technical idea. Nobody cared about Token Ring either.
3. A storage network used by server teams so that they don’t have to understand ethernet networking.
