Today: Before Unified I/O Parallel SAN and LAN

Potentially less optimal use of networks, but it works

Four or more connections per server:

– Higher adapter and cabling costs

– Adds CapEx and OpEx

– Each connection adds points of failure

Slower server provisioning

Additional redundancy and security due to separate physical infrastructures

Separate management realms

General Unified I/O Usage Case

One fabric infrastructure at the

server edge for tier 2/3 app servers

and VMs

FC and CEE L2/L3 multipathing

end-to-end (as standard is

finalized)

Fewer components to deploy

Leverages existing network and

storage infrastructure

Lower TCO

Disk array, FICON, and tape will

require FC for years to come

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

A mechanism to carry Fibre Channel

protocol on top of Converged Enhanced Ethernet

Encapsulates FC frames over CEE

Leverages the rich set of FC fabric services

for storage connectivity

– Name services, zoning, WWN structure,

management, multi-pathing

Preserves investment in SAN infrastructure

FC frame remains intact: FC does not change

Ethernet needs a larger frame: Larger than 1.5 KB

Is Fibre-Channel dead

… the answer is NO !!!– FCoE is an extension of an existing technology (Fiber Channel) on a new

transport (CEE).

– There is a large installed based of FC storage (>$50Billion US-dollars)

– CEE/FCoE is not completely ratified today !

– BROCADE„s next gen ASIC for 16G-FC is ready !

… what are our Storage OEMs are saying:– FC continues to be the main interface

– No reason for storage vendors to implement FCoE natively

– Storage vendors slow in bringing new interfaces (iSCSI)

– FICON/Mainframe is a “wait and see mode”
