Exam SK0-005 topic 1 question 220 discussion

The connectivity option that would best meet this requirement is Fibre Channel. Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology commonly used for storage area networks (SANs). It provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for storage devices over an optical connection. Fibre Channel supports speeds up to 16Gbps and is therefore the best option for meeting the requirement of transmitting at 16Gb over an optical connection. FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is a technology that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames within Ethernet frames for transmission over Ethernet networks, but it requires special hardware and is not widely adopted. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a storage networking standard that carries SCSI commands over IP networks. It is commonly used in smaller SAN environments, but it may not provide the same performance and reliability as Fibre Channel. eSATA (External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is an external interface used to connect storage devices to computers, but it is not a networking technology and does not provide the same capabilities as Fibre Channel.
