实在控制不住激动的心情，16GbFC在千呼万唤中终于露面上市，


楼下的接着围观， 维持好队形

The Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) announced the completion of the 16GFC standard which passed a final milestone within the ANSI T11 Technical Committee. With the approved 16GFC standard, the Fibre Channel industry continues to help customers preserve their 4GFC and 8GFC infrastructure investments and avoid costly 'forklift' replacements.

The vote supports the ANSI INCITS T11 Technical Committee development of the 16GFC electrical copper and optical interfaces in its FC-PI-5 standard and ensures that Fibre Channel continues to provide the highest performance available for storage interconnects.

With 16GFC, users will experience twice the bandwidth of 8GFC - doubling savings in price/performance, power and port density. 16GFC is estimated to decrease power consumption by at least 25% over 8GFC technology. Transparently, without user intervention, 16GFC is auto-negotiated backward compatibly to 8GFC and 4GFC, ensuring that the user need not make a forklift remove and replace of their 4GFC or 8GFC Fibre Channel SAN to integrate individual 16GFC products at the pace of their own choosing. 16GFC provides a natural value migration from 8GFC and ensures the end user full confidence that 8GFC purchases made today are preserved investments for tomorrow. In addition, 16GFC reduces the number of links required to transfer large amounts of bandwidth in SANs while improving management capabilities by reducing the number of cables, ports and devices required to accomplish the same job.

16GFC user benefits:
•        About 40% faster than 10G Ethernet SANs
•        2x faster than 8GFC
•        Improved price/performance
•        Lower power
•        Backward compatibility
•        Flexible configurability
•        60% to 2X improved SAN IO density
•        60% to 2X increased number of Virtual Machine IO channels per port
•        Saves PCIe slots for other uses

过一两年就普及了

以太网也是在发展的，IEEE802.3ba 40G/100G标准也于2010年正式获批通过，鹿死谁手还不知道

这算啥。storage over IB，现成的40Gb产品。

cncqpansky

是啊， Infiniband 40G啦


而且好像100G也快了

不知道现在的市场上啥情况

IB就是效率差了点，比不上FC，ipoib的稳定性也有待考证
