Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Networking

Converged Network Adapters consolidate the data networking of a NIC with the storage networking of a Fibre Channel Adapter onto a single 10GbE Ethernet adapter, resulting in significant datacenter cost savings while preserving existing investment in Fibre Channel storage and tools.

Mellanox ConnectX EN and ConnectX-2 EN Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NIC) deliver high bandwidth and industry-leading 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with stateless offloads for converged fabrics in Enterprise Data Centers, High-Performance Computing, and Embedded environments. Clustered databases, web infrastructure, and IP video servers are just a few example applications that will achieve significant throughput and latency improvements resulting in faster access, real-time response and increased number of users per server.

The Mellanox BX4010 is the first Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) gateway allowing data centers to deploy I/O consolidation solutions using InfiniBand or Ethernet as the convergence fabric of choice. Networks have increased in size and managing a growing multi-infrastructure has become a daunting task. Enterprise data centers currently use three different networks—Storage Area Networks using Fibre Channel transport for storage access, Local Area Network using Ethernet transport for standard network access and System Area Networks using InfiniBand transport for inter-process communication and high-performance clustering.
