==Storage area networks== [[File:Fibre Channel Storage Area Network.png|thumb|The Fibre Channel SAN connects servers to storage via Fibre Channel switches.]] The goal of Fibre Channel is to create a [[storage area network]] (SAN) to connect servers to storage. The SAN is a dedicated network that enables multiple servers to access data from one or more storage devices. [[Enterprise storage]] uses the SAN to backup to secondary storage devices including [[disk arrays]], [[tape library|tape libraries]], and other backup while the storage is still accessible to the server. Servers may access storage from multiple storage devices over the network as well. SANs are often designed with dual fabrics to increase fault tolerance. Two completely separate fabrics are operational and if the primary fabric fails, then the second fabric becomes the primary.
