Leveraging FCoE end to end in an existing data center
Figure 6 shows an example of how a client might further simplify their data center with the FC SAN switching fabric
and implementing end to end FCoE configuration. This example shows how clients can use the RackSwitch G8264
to simplify their rack environments with Ethernet only. Ethernet can go down to the end of the row, or closer, to the
client's storage where the client can install the G8264CS to connect directly upstream to an Storwize V3700/V7000
using simpler Ethernet connectivity.
