FCoE: Fibre Channel over Ethernet, in April last year by a few IT companies to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) T11 Technical Committee, a new standards proposal. The proposal has not yet received final approval, but in February this year made a breakthrough in June this year there will be a formal standard for FCoE products appear.
FCoE Fibre Channel technology standards can be mapped to Ethernet, which can be transmitted over Ethernet SAN data. It can protect the customer's existing investment in FC-SAN (FC-SAN, such as the various tools, staff training, has been building facilities and the corresponding FC-SAN management structure), based on the FC storage to provide a protocol as the core I / O consolidation program.
The current proposal FCoE technology can use any standard rate card, but need to support 802.3x PAUSE card mechanism.
10G Ethernet for FCoE is, its application has the advantage of maintaining services on the basis of the original, you can significantly reduce the number of network interfaces on the server (while reducing the cable, saving switch port and administrators need to manage the control the number of points), thereby reducing power consumption, to the management convenience. In addition, it improves system availability. FCoE roadmap based on, FCoE standards will be approved this year, 10G's FCoE products are expected in 2009. Currently known open-source FCoE project is Open-FCoE, whose address is: www.open-fcoe.org
