Combining the Fibre Channel protocol and an enhanced 10-Gigabit Ethernet physical transport (FCoE) expands options for SAN connectivity and networking. NetApp is the first to offer data storage systems with native FCoE support.
Ethernet storage simplifies data management and reduces TCO. NetApp® native FCoE and FC storage systems let you migrate to a unified Ethernet infrastructure over time, while preserving your storage investments.
