    The promise of FCoE

    Metz makes a fair case for using Ethernet but doesn't make a case for replacing FC with FCoE.

    When customers look into the complexity of FC and then look at FCoE, which maintains that level of complexity,

    Secondly, FCoE may work for larger customers, but for the broader market - small and medium sized customers, FC is established, reliable, works well and is cost-effective. iSCSI is large and growing rapidly because it is also established, reliable, works well and is extremely cost-effective, but with the simplicity that FCoE doesn't bring to the table.

    I know Cisco has a bunch of Nexus switches they need to push, but is anyone else other than Cisco leading with FCoE?
