... typically an Ethernet switch with DCB, legacy Ethernet, and legacy Fibre Channel ports. Examples of FCFs include HP VC FlexFabric modules and HP Networking 5820X top-ofrack access switches with Fibre Channel option modules.
FCoE has several advantages:
• The CNA appears to the OS as a FC HBA and a NIC and uses existing OS device drivers. FCoE is...

... some hardware costs associated with separate network fabrics. Dual-port, multifunction FlexFabric adapters are both Ethernet and host bus adapters, depending on user configuration. These embedded CNA adapters leave the BladeSystem PCIe mezzanine card slots available for additional storage or data connections.

Compute strategy
Control all network end points, including server nodes, from upstream hierarchy similar to traditional network designs.
Increase network end point capability allowing management to occur from multiple levels including software.
Provide and support compute node connectivity of any type.

.... Today most CNAs that exist as PCIe cards, cost as much or more than their respective FC HBAs. Vendors can reduce the cost of adopting FCoE by embedding the CNA on the server motherboard, When the CNA is a single device embedded on the motherboard, it is called a CNA LAN on Motherboard (LOM). Including a CNA LOM on a blade...

Congestion management ...device called an FDF, which acts as a port expander to a Fibre Channel switch (or Ethernet switch running the Fibre Channel switch software). The FDF will have a much clearer set of responsibilities in the FCoE world than the Ethernet switch with FIP snooping that it will effectively replace.

... and toward the Fibre Channel model in which storage networks always use switches from a single vendor.
• Every switch in the data center requires Fibre Channel switch firmware. The connections between those switches are Virtual Ethernet (VE) Ports. In this Cisco approach, VE Ports emulate an Ethernet port over a non-Fibre Channel link because traffic is running over...

... a spectrum of Ethernet connected storage alternatives. Ethernet connected NAS appliances serving files have been emerging for decades and have a respectable share of the storage market; likewise in very high-end supercomputers a large parallel file system (such as HP IBRIX) runs on some of the nodes, with applications accessing data as files over the network. To reduce...

... scale do you implement migration strategies (like vMotion or others) requiring that MAC and IP addresses
stay intact? • Do you intend to move from the classic oversubscribed hierarchical network to a flatter network topology.
Hierarchical networks can cause unacceptable oversubscription on both data and storage networks, imposing more upward hops on both kinds of traffic.? • What...
