This one-day
intensive seminar takes you through the basic operations and function
of the Fibre Channel Switched Fabric topology. From introduction
and concepts through addressing and initialization to fabric services,
it's all here. Whether you are designing a product to attach to
a switched fabric topology, designing and 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.
