Setting the Record Straight


There has been some concern that Cisco’s efforts around FCoE and Data Center Ethernet are proprietary implementations and not supported by the industry.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The fact is that FCoE and Data Center Ethernet enjoy support from a variety of vendors and are being adopted by many standards bodies including IEEE and INCITS T11.

Many vendors including Intel, Emulex, and QLogic have already announced FCoE and Data Center Ethernet products and many more have committed to doing so.

Also, here are just a few industry events where vendors have come together to demonstrate interoperability and showcase their technology:

FCIA Demonstration at SNW
FCoE Plugfest at the University of New Hampshire
FCoE Test Drive by QLogic
