Eight Unresolved Questions About FCoE

January 5, 2012 By Stephen 17 Comments

Before the holidays, I posed a question on Google+ that generated quite a bit of interest and feedback.

VMware ESX FCoE CNA Compatibility in Plain English

January 24, 2011 By Stephen 3 Comments

Last year, we were all wondering when the 10 GbE wave would hit and what impact it would have. That's not worth pondering anymore. Sure, prices remain high, but they're falling fast and many folks are already implementing 10 GbE in their data centers. … [Read more...] about 10 GbE, iSCSI, FCoE, Microsoft, and the Future
