What does this supposed to mean? I have installed Fibre Channel card to a Dell server on my own to connect a NetApp, the reason was the high efficiency and the throughput (8Gbps). Isn't Fibre Channel in the same level with Ethernet? It is a transport medium.
- colanderman 9y agoI think they mean it speaks an object protocol (S3) instead of a block protocol (SCSI).
- chasd00 9y agoDoesn't "talk s3" just mean the REST convention applied to HTTP? S3 API/Http/tcp/ip/Ethernet would be pretty inefficient if you were on the same Ethernet network, that's why things like fibre channel we're invented.
