ESS Enterprise Storage System.
EVA HPE StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array. A high-performance, high-capacity, and
high-availability storage solution for the high-end enterprise class marketplace. Each EVA
storage system consists of a pair of HSV virtualizing storage controllers and the disk drives
they manage.
F
fabric A network of one or more Fibre Channel switches that transmit data between any two N_Ports
on any of the switches.
failover An automatic method for transferring operations from a failed system to a secondary, identical
system.
FC Fibre Channel. A comprehensive set of standards for concurrent communication among servers,
storage systems, and peripheral devices.
FCC 1. Fibre Channel Congestion Control. A feature that allows C-series switches to intelligently
regulate traffic across ISLs and ensure that each initiator-target pair of devices has the required
bandwidth for data transfer.
2. Federal Communications Commission. An independent United States government agency.
The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating
interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.
FCIP Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol.
FCoE Fibre Channel over Ethernet. A technology that allows a convergence of Ethernet and Fibre
Channel fabrics.
FCR Fibre Channel routing.
FCS Fibre Channel switch.
Fibre Channel A serial data transport infrastructure and protocol used to implement SANs. See also http://

FICON Fibre connectivity. Hardware that connects the mainframe to the CU.
FO Fiber optic.
FPGA Field-programmable gate array.
FPMA Fabric Provided Mac Addressing.
FRU Field-replaceable unit.
G
Gb/s Gigabits per second.
GbE Gigabit Ethernet. An Ethernet standard for transmitting data at 1 Gb/s.
H
HA High availability. The relative ability of a system to operate continuously, regardless of the type
of failure.
HBA Host bus adapter. A hardware device that connects the host server to the fabric.
heterogeneous A mixed environment that incorporates different operating systems, protocols, architectures,
and equipment from different vendors or product families.
