ALSO CALLED: Fiber Channel SAN, Fibre, Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks, Fiber Channel Storage Area Networks, Fibre Channel Storage
DEFINITION: FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is a proposed standard designed to enable Fibre Channel communications to run directly over Ethernet. Thus, FCoE makes it possible to move Fibre Channel traffic across existing high-speed Ethernet infrastructures and extend the reach and capability of storage area networks (SANs). This ability allows organizations to protect and extend existing investments in their  …

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 …
