SANmark

The Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) established the SANmark Qualified Program to provide objective indicators of how Fibre Channel products perform against reasonable quality and interoperability standards and to permit the use of the trademarked term "SANmark", and any associated logo(s), in the identification and promotion of products meeting the published test indices.

The SANmark Qualified Program goals are:

Make Fibre Channel solutions easy to use, easy to install, manage, configure, diagnose, and trouble shoot
Ensure Fibre Channel continues to attain the highest performance and "installed base maturity" available in the market;
Proliferate heterogeneous shared SAN resources & heterogeneous management framework over WAN connections.
