Short Description:

John Webster discusses the future of networking and FCoE. He highlights QLogics implementation. This 8 page Technical Insight highlights considerations and approaches for FCo

Full Summary:

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) expands the reach of Fibre Channel (FC)‐based storage networking into the more ubiquitous realm of Ethernet. As such, it is different from the more familiar iSCSI protocol which encapsulates standard SCSI packets for transmission over standard Ethernet LAN communications links. FCoE promises to simplify the administration of data center communications fabrics by converging both Ethernet (LAN) data communications with FC SAN I/O communications between servers and storage devices. A review of QLogics 8100 Series is also included and their approach to FCoE
