To provide you with increased flexibility to address your performance, availability, and data-management needs, NetApp offers native Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) SAN solutions. NetApp FCoE SAN solutions offer an end-to-end Ethernet storage solution to deliver increased data center efficiency and reduced overall cost.
FCoE combines two leading technologies, the Fibre Channel protocol and an enhanced 10 Gigabit Ethernet physical transport, to provide you with more options for SAN connectivity and networking. To simplify administration and protect your SAN investments, FCoE allows you to use the same tools and techniques you use today managing your FC network and storage. The FCoE network infrastructure offers connectivity to either native NetApp FCoE systems and/or NetApp Fibre Channel storage systems. This allows you to migrate to a unified Ethernet infrastructure while preserving investments you already made in FC storage. FCoE is a logical progression of NetApp's unified storage approach to offering concurrent support for Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NAS data access in its enterprise systems. It provides an evolutionary path for Fibre Channel SAN customers to migrate to Ethernet over time.
As an active participant in the development and marketing of the Fibre Channel over Ethernet standard, NetApp is the first to offer storage systems with native support for FCoE. We deliver fully tested and qualified solutions with leading partners in a robust and growing ecosystem.
