-- What is required to implement FCoE and converged networks -- i.e.
what can we do with FCoE today?
-- What are the limitations and what pitfalls should practitioners
understand?
-- How fast will FCoE adoption occur -- i.e. when will the limitations
go away?
-- What will be the prominent use cases for FCoE -- i.e. where's the
fit?
Organizations that want to aggressively pursue virtualization and are
seeing high NIC and FC HBA counts are the best candidates to pilot FCoE
today and will see the most benefit in the near-to-mid term. FCoE can be
deployed today but typically only at small scale. Over the next five years,
adoption of FCoE will increase steadily as costs decline and end customers
reach a critical mass of infrastructure necessary to support FCoE.
Information Technology practitioners, data center managers and others
interested in FCoE are invited to join this free conference call and
participate in the open discussion.
