Reader Reviews
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.
