Abstract

Open-FCoE Software initiator(s) have been released for Windows, Linux and ESX (in progress). Open-FCoE stack has been certified with EMC E-labs and NetApp storage certification. This presentation takes a look at the architecture of the Open-FCoE software stack for different Operating Systems, how it inter-operates with DCB and how it plugs into management frameworks. We will also take a look at performance of the stack and how it compares with HW initiators especially with benchmarks which mimic real world applications like JetStress, SQL-IOSim etc.

Learning Objectives

Understand Open-FCoE architecture
Understand how to manage Open-FCoE initiator
Compare/Contrast Open-FCoE performance with HW initiator
