By Marc Staimer Most users currently run Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) only between their servers and top-of-rack switches or with blade servers and their embedded switches. Do you think end users will ultimately run FCoE from their servers
Reading Time-approximately: 3 minutesPosted by: Margaret Rouse WhatIs.com Contributor(s): Brien Posey FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is a storage protocol that enables Fibre Channel (FC) communications to run directly over Ethernet. FCoE makes it possible to move Fibre Channel traffic across existing high-speed Ethernet infrastructure and converges storage and IP protocols onto a single cable transport and interface. The goal of FCoE is to consolidate I/O (input/output)
