8. Benefits of 8Gb Fiber
• Digital content increases to grow at a rate of 30-40% per year
• New applications and operating systems create increasing amount of
SAN traffic
• Increased headroom for increased levels of data protection and tiered
migration of data
• Specific benefits by vertical markets
 Financial – faster transaction speeds
 Video – support for higher video resolutions and data rates
 Server virtualization pushing more bandwidth down existing SAN
links
– Future proofing of SAN
– 8G Fibre Channel Storage Attached Networks
provide increased headroom for future bandwidth
and growth needs
