Data Center Ethernet and FCoE Explained

• 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.)

FCoE is the extension of Fibre Channelover a new type of “lossless” Ethernetto drive new levels of server connectivity efficiency

The one thing you need to remember

What is FCoE?Q:

A:

In Short = Extension of Fibre Channel

• Flexible Resource Allocation– Simple deployment, low risk– Non-disruptively add application

services and resources

• Consolidation– Server, storage, and network– Performance and massive scale

• Always On– Non-disruptive upgrades– Data protection

The IBM System Storage SAN768B BackboneThe Backbone of the Data Center Fabric

Introducing the IBM SAN768B Backbone

A Data Center Backbone product that is a new class of network infrastructure that resides at the core of the data center fabric.

Addressing businesses’ urgent needs for more efficient, reliable, and adaptable data centers.

• The Foundation for the Brocade Data Center Fabric (DCF)

• The first in a new class of solutions designed to optimize data center efficiency with minimal disruption

• Allows customers to merge different networks in the data center to improve hardware utilization, simplifymanagement, reduce costs, and support scalable, non-disruptive growth

IBM SAN768B Backbone Overview• Highest performance

– 13 Tbps aggregate in two chassis• 6.5 Tbps single chassis

– 544 Gbps per slot– Local switching– 1 Tbps ICLs

• 896 ports at 8 Gbps– 786 ports end-user ports, 128 ICL ports

• 1/2/4/8/10 Gbps FC and 1/2/4 Gbps FICON• Highly scalable FC routing• Future support for DCE and FCoE• High availability

– Separate control processor and core blades, dual WWN cards

• Adaptive networking: QoS• Application-aware architecture• Efficient power and cooling capacity• Practical cable management
