FIBRE CHANNEL SAN DEFINITION (continued): …  storage networks. FCoE competes with iSCSI.Fibre Channel supports high-speed data connections between computing devices that interconnect servers with shared storage devices and between storage controllers and drives. FCoE retains the same device communications but substitutes high-speed Ethernet links (usually, 1 Gbps or faster) for Fibre Channel links between devices. FCoE works with standard Ethernet cards, cables, and switches to handle Fibre Channel traffic at the link layer, using Ethernet frames to encapsulate, route, and transport FC frames across an Ethernet network from one switch with …
