Mainframes Channels: Fundamentals of Mainframe I/O in the Age of Open Systems
Overview This paper presents the reasons why channels often offer superior performance over networks. The history, features, functions and differences between network and channel technologies are reviewed. This paper describes the differences and similarities between channels and networks, types of channels in both mainframe and open systems environments and the relative advantage of channels in moving high volumes of data. There is a technical discussion of ESCON, the most widely deployed mainframe channel technology found in data centers today.
