                    Appliance proponents aren't worried about SQL Server Fast Track Data Warehouse.

                    The term SAN is an oxymoron when applied to Fibre Channel fabrics.  Fibre Channel is a channel  protocol, not a network protocol, so it stands to reason that Fibre Channel cannot be used to build a storage area network.
