FCoE vs. iSCSI – Making the Choice

May 20, 2011 By Stephen 18 Comments

My presentation at Interop in Las Vegas on May 11, 2011, focused on the protocols that will underpin converged storage networking in the future. My topic, assigned by network computing editor Mike Fratto, was “FCoE vs. iSCSI - Making the Choice.” Although this sounds like a grand competition between the two protocols, my take on the subject is very far from that idea. Rather … [Read more...] about FCoE vs. iSCSI – Making the Choice

VMware ESX FCoE CNA Compatibility in Plain English

January 24, 2011 By Stephen 3 Comments

VMware has one awesome hardware compatibility list. It's not the breadth of it (in fact, ESX's range of hardware support is astonishingly small) but the thorough, public way in which VMware shares this information. It's really worth a look, and I regularly visit the list to see what's changed. But the thoroughness and detail of the VMware HCL can be daunting.

Where Is Microsoft’s FCoE Support?

April 15, 2010 By Stephen 8 Comments

Microsoft is a controversial company, generating a mix of criticism and praise everywhere they are involved. Although I'm definitely a Microsoft skeptic, I've been pleased by much of the work they have done in my field of enterprise storage. Their client-side ("initiator" to us storage folks) work has been especially notable, making me wonder why no other operating system … [Read more...] about Where Is Microsoft’s FCoE Support?
