Fiber Channel over Ethernet

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is designed to converge what has been two separate networks, storage and data, into a single architecture on the edge of the network.

The InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are involved in developing standards for FCoE. However, many equipment manufacturers are not waiting for the standards to be completed, but are releasing pre-standard implementations.

Beyond the details of connectivity (such as addressing, encapsulation, discovery and forwarding), is the challenge to achieve the performance and reliability of storage networks in the FCoE environment. Reliable transport, flow control and congestion management are required to meet the challenge.

Do you know that your FCoE solution will:

Interoperate with existing FC equipment?
Deliver lossless transport at line rate?
Support the priority-based flow control, congestion management and enhanced transmission selection required to deliver performance and reliability?

There is only one way to find out it will perform on a real network – test it under real-world network conditions.

Anue Systems gives you confidence that your goals will be met through the power of objective, verifiable, repeatable network test results.
