What is the difference between Fibre Channel and iSCSI SANs?

Fibre Channel is a dedicated protocol designed specifically for storage traffic, delivering the lowest latency and highest predictable performance but requiring specialized hardware and expertise. iSCSI runs block storage over standard IP networks, which lowers cost and complexity but introduces more variability and depends heavily on how the underlying network is engineered. Most enterprise environments pick Fibre Channel for tier-one workloads and iSCSI where cost or simplicity is the priority.
