客户机/服务器存储技术正在发生变化。这主要是由于多媒体内容以及电子邮件、数据中心服务器和Web等信息共享应用的推动,使得对存储的要求每年都翻一倍。另外,传统的关键任务应用从大型主机环境移到客户机/服务器网络,也导致了数据的增长,而且也增加了对MIS（管理信息系统）人员的压力,要求他们提供大型主机级的可用性、管理和备份能力。对于这些变化,传统的存储技术显得力不从心,而一种新的高速互联标准——光纤通道,却可以满足这些需要。
Client / server storage technologies are changing. This is driven primarily by multimedia content and information-sharing applications such as email, data center servers and the Web, doubling storage requirements each year. In addition, traditional mission-critical applications moving from mainframe environments to client / server networks have also led to data growth but have also added pressure to MIS (Management Information System) personnel to provide mainframe-level availability, Management and backup capabilities. For these changes, the traditional storage technology is overwhelmed, and a new high-speed Internet standards - Fiber Channel, but can meet these needs.
