Fibre channel over ethernet (FCoE) connectivity
DataCore Software has announced support for native fibre channel over ethernet (FCoE) connectivity for its SANmelody and SANsymphony storage virtualisation solutions.
The company has added the Emulex and Brocade FCoE converged network adapters (CNAs) and Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches to its FCoE-qualified support list. FCoE software drivers are currently available for Microsoft Windows and VMware ESX/vSphere. DataCore customers can transition to an FCoE infrastructure while still supporting existing fibre channel investments, meaning greater choice and flexibility while building out their storage networks. Customers can run both FCoE and IP traffic through the same port and on the same wire, eliminating the need and expense for separate SAN and LAN adapters and cables. The ability to run FC protocol over existing ethernet cabling is significant for network administration. It means that administrators do not need to have a separate network for running fibre channel protocol.
