Fibre Channel Data Center Interconnects (DCI): 64G FC and More
Organizations often operate data centers in multiple locations and are often geographically distributed to provide scale and disaster recovery capabilities. As
with any fabric topology, scalability, data integrity and security are key requirements. This webinar will discuss how Fibre Channel can be effectively deployed
in these applications using optical transport technology. Topics to be covered: • Optical Transport 101: A brief survey of optical networking (DWDM) technol…
NVMe over FC: Deep Dive in Protocol, Architecture and Use Cases
The majority of today’s SAN infrastructures leverage the traditional SCSI/FCP protocol. The relatively new NVMe/FC protocol has become ubiquitous in
enterprise storage offerings, delivering multiple advantages including high performance, low tail latency, and precision error recovery that can run on the
same Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure. In this talk we will discuss: • The architecture of NVMe/FC at protocol level • Building blocks of NVMe like NVMe sub…
128GFC: A Preview of the New Fibre Channel Speed
In this webcast we will discuss 128GFC, the new Fibre Channel speed recently ratified by the T11 Fibre Channel standards committee. This new speed takes
Fibre Channel further into the future. The latest generation of Fibre Channel (128GFC) has a rate of 112.2Gbps (PAM4) for a single lane variant. This speed is
5.6% faster than 100Gb Ethernet single lane variants. Fibre Channel was able to increase the speed and still maintain two generations of backward compati…
Benefits of FC-NVMe for Containerized ML Models
Machine learning (ML) is the study and development of algorithms that improves with use of data. As it deals with the training data, the machine algorithm
changes and grows. Most ML models begin with “training data” which the machine processes and begins to “understand” statistically. Machine learning
models are resource intensive. To anticipate, validate, and recalibrate millions of times, they demand a significant amount of processing power. Training an …
Advance Your Career with Fibre Channel Knowledge
Innovation and growth in Fibre Channel adoption continues to grow – and your career can too. Yet there is a lack of training at the academic level in teaching
the basics of Fibre Channel as many universities consider the technology mature. The need for beginner-level courses as well as more advanced education
for professionals wanting to achieve a deeper level of technical understanding in the subject has led to a number of companies active in the Fibre Channel i…
Kubernetes and Fibre Channel: A Compelling Case
Over the past decade IT organizations have discovered the benefits of moving applications and storage to the cloud. Recent trends point to an increase of
on-premises hybrid cloud solutions. Cloud-native applications running in containers have driven the need for high-performance persistent storage that is both
easy to deploy and manage. In this live webcast, FCIA experts will explore the role that Fibre Channel plays in merging the benefits of a cloud-based infras…
Fibre Channel Zoning Fundamentals – All You Need to Know
Fibre Channel is the original secure storage fabric. Perfected over 25 years, the zoning service in Fibre Channel makes security possible by ensuring that end
devices are able to communicate only with the set of devices explicitly permitted. As a follow up to our presentation on Fibre Channel Basics, this live webcast
is a more advanced session that will focus on Zoning for the real world, covering: • What is Zoning -Why you’d want to Zone • How Zoning works …
Inside a Modern Fibre Channel Architecture - Part 2
We continue our discussion on how Fibre Channel is purpose built and engineered to meet the demands of enterprise data centers requiring rock solid
reliability, high performance, and scalability. In other words, Fibre Channel technology is storage technology! At Part 2 of “Inside a Modern Fibre Channel
Architecture” our FCIA experts return to dive into: • Building blocks and their hierarchy • Frames, Sequences, Exchanges, Protocols • Segmentation and re…
