Data Center Ethernet and FCoE Explained System System Application Middleware IP Stack HPC Stack FCoE Stack Data Center Ethernet 10GbE Physical Ethernet enhancements required for I/O convergence DCE

4 Data Center Ethernet and FCoE Explained System System Application Middleware IP Stack HPC Stack FCoE Stack Data Center Ethernet 10GbE Physical Ethernet enhancements required for I/O convergence DCE Ethernet layer Lossless delivery, service differentiation and advanced congestion management Backwards compatible with existing Ethernet protocol Upper layer protocols FCoE: FCP directly over Ethernet, using existing FCP services HPC: Direct compute clustering interfaces (e.g. MPI) Existing network applications (e.g. TCP, UDP, IP, etc.)

5 The one thing you need to remember Q: A: What is FCoE? FCoE is the extension of Fibre Channel over a new type of lossless Ethernet to drive new levels of server connectivity efficiency In Short = Extension of Fibre Channel

6 The Evolving Data Center Macro Trends Fundamental Drivers Increase Speed, Agility Rapidly respond to to new new business demands and and growth growth Optimize Asset Utilization Reduce capital capital and and operational costs costs Zero Application Downtime Customers expect expect fast fast response Power Efficiency Reduce power power and and cooling cooling costs costs and overhead Requirements Flexible Resource Allocation Simple Simple deployment, low low risk risk Non-disruptively add add application services and and resources Consolidation Server, Server, storage, and and network Performance and and massive scale scale Always On Non-disruptive upgrades Data Data protection Automated Solutions
