INTRODUCTION TO SWITCHED FABRIC |
||
| This one-day intensive
seminar takes you through the basic operations and functions of the Fibre
Channel Switched Fabric topology. From introduction and concepts through
addressing and initialization to fabric services its all here. Whether you
are designing a product to attach to a switched fabric topology, designing
an installation using Fibre Channel switches, or even designing the switches
themselves there is something for you in this seminar. As with all of Solution Technology's seminars you will find the comprehensive course materials second to none in the industry. |
