As you might know, I did a Data Center Fabric Architectures presentation at the EuroNOG 2011 conference last week. The slides are available online; for a more in-depth version, please register for my Data Center Fabrics webinar.
As always, if I got anything wrong, please write a comment.

This left me wanting on one more topic: what about the number of VLANs supported by each? Which ones are limited to 4K? Which ones are not and have or can have port-local VLAN IDs?
ReplyDeleteReally good question to add to the per-vendor scorecard in the DC Fabrics webinar. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great summary. Sharing widely.
ReplyDeleteSuper great slide show. Thanks a lot for sharing. I didnt quite get why FCOE is a must....all that buys is less cabling/equipment right? Is it a must for any other reason?
ReplyDeleteCan't put everything on the slides or they would be too crowded. It's primarily to reduce server-to-ToR cabling and the number of managed devices (no need for ToR FC switch).
