Storage Strategies Now Outlook Reports

Below is a list of our current Outlook Reports

  • Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adoption: A vendor survey

    Upcoming and present Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) converged network adapters (CNAs) and switch implementations are driving the adoption of converged Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks among enterprise users. In 2010, users are going to be evaluating and testing the CNAs that Brocade, Emulex and QLogic offer and pairing them with top-of-the rack switches from Brocade and Cisco and with end-of-row switches from Brocade. In late 2010, these same enterprise users will start implementing the CNAs and FCoE-ready switches in their networks, especially as they refresh their aging server population with Nehalem EX-based servers or as they install new servers.
