"Fibre Channel (FC) is the technology standard for datacenter SAN environments, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is an example of continued innovation that will enhance investments in FC-based architectures and business solutions. FCoE expands Fibre Channel into the Ethernet environment, combining two leading technologies - FC and Ethernet - to provide more options to end users for SAN connectivity and networking. We expect FCoE to deliver leading performance without the latency and complexity issues of TCP, to provide greater flexibility in network infrastructure and protocol decisions through network convergence, and to enhance FC investments in the datacenter.
