Will FCoE Rule the Future?

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) has been a hot topic of discussion in the enterprise storage world lately, but many end users are just now hearing about it.  Although some folks seem to think it’s here with a vengance, others doubt that it will ever make the splash it promises, with 8 Gb FC, iSCSI, and even AoE (ATA over Ethernet) showing more promise.  There has been some back and forth, and even a little backpedaling.

What do you think?  If you’re a Plaxo user, I created a poll over there to see if folks think it will rise, and when.
