Networking technologies find their niches

Article Abstract:

The various networking technologies, including Ultra2 SCSI, Fibre Channel, and IEEE 1394 are all taking on separate roles and becoming more complementary. Neither Fibre Channel nor FireWire is capable of replacing SCSI. However, as hardware gets more powerful and faster, SCSI will evolve into more powerful versions of itself. SCSI is well established and compatible with legacy systems and devices. Furthermore, its low cost makes it especially attractive for connecting peripherals and smaller server environments. Unfortunately, SCSI is still limited by a very short maximum bus length. Fibre Channel, on the other hand, offers a 100-Mbps bandwidth over copper or fiber cable. It can connect 126 devices, and the distance between devices can be as long as 30 meters. However, it requires a new infrastructure and is more expensive to install. Fibre Channel has therefore settled into a role of connecting clustered servers or high-capacity networks. FireWire is used in the video editing market, because of its ability to send isochronous data smoothly.
