The industry is buzzing about Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and what its impact may or may not have on iSCSI and network convergence. Initially there were some skeptics in the press like the story from Howard Marks FCoE: The Latest Standard We Don’t Need. But now it seems the tides are turning as you can read about some of the activity on the FCoE website. Putting initial total cost of ownership (TCO) discussions aside; the technology has merit and worth looking at as a catalyst to network convergence and maybe some day replacing iSCSI. |
