 Summary

FCoE is one of the core components of Cisco Unified Fabric portfolio, which helps enable multiprotocol networking through Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), Cisco Nexus platforms, and Cisco MDS platforms. FCoE allows an evolutionary approach to I/O consolidation by preserving all Fibre Channel constructs, maintaining the latency, security, and traffic management attributes of Fibre Channel while preserving investments in Fibre Channel tools, training, and SANs.

A truly converged environment, using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) to combine LAN and SAN architectures, can substantially reduce operating costs and simplify management while providing increased performance now and in the future.
