High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A World Wide Name (WWN) or World Wide Identifier (WWID) is a unique identifier which identifies a particular Fibre Channel, Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) target. Each WWN is an 8 byte number derived from an IEEE OUI and vendor-supplied information. Fibre Channel, or FC, is a gigabit-speed network technology primarily used for storage networking. Fibre Channel is standardized in the T11 Technical Committee of the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)–accredited standards committee.

Despite its name, Fibre Channel signaling can run on both twisted pair copper wire and fiber-optic cables.
