Fibre Channel : Connection To The Future

Rating:
Summary: Excellent overview
Review: This book is great for an overview on Fibre Channel: just the nuts and bolts to get started on a SAN or other storage that my company needed to understand fibre and lead us to further, more detailed understanding of the concepts.

Rating:
Summary: Marketing Hype
Review: This book is written by the Fibre Channel marketing team - it reads like sales literature. There is no unbiased discussion on the technology, no mention of any of the weak points and exhorbitant claims about Fibre Channel's ability. Yipee, lets all run out and install Fibre Channel equipment!

For a much better perspective I recommend Designing Storage Area Networks by Tom Clark. It covers the same overview, delves into much more detail, and covers real world uses of the technology.
