Fibre Channel is a high-speed communication protocol that enables data transfer between servers and storage devices in a SAN. Fibre Channel is designed to support high-bandwidth applications that require fast access to large amounts of data, such as video streaming, data backup, and scientific research. Fibre Channel uses optical fiber cables to transmit data over long distances, which makes it ideal for connecting servers and storage devices in large data centers.

A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a hardware device that connects a computer or server to a SAN. An HBA is typically installed in a PCI-E slot on the computer’s motherboard and provides the computer with access to the SAN.
