Overview:

Many data centers are in the process of moving from 2Gbit/s (2G) Fibre Channel (FC) infrastructures to the new 4Gbit/s (4G) FC standard. The increase in data transfer rates is instantly beneficial from a performance perspective. However, transitioning to 4G creates some real challenges for architects. In particular, the potential for increased data communication error rates that may result in disruption or performance degradation of business critical applications. The physics of high-speed communication creates many new restrictions on crucial physical-layer elements such as optical cabling and optical modules. These restrictions must be understood, addressed and proactively monitored before the full value of 4G can be realized in today's Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructures.
