whitepaper Getting Started With VMware vSphere and Emulex/Cisco SANs2009-06-26 VMware
  The combination of VMware vSphere and Fibre Channel SANs provides substantial CapEx and OpEx savings. Cisco and Emulex are leaders in Fibre Channel technologies and provide scalable, high-performance hardware and software components that fully enable server virtualization in the data center. This paper explains some of the components and concepts involved in deploying VMware vSphere on a SAN in conjunction with the Cisco MDS 9000 and Emulex HBAs. This paper is the first in an ongoing series that will be jointly published by Cisco, Emulex, and VMware.

whitepaper Integrated Optical Wireless Network for Next Generation Wireless Systems2009-06-11 Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology
  This paper suggests a modified millimeter wave wireless system using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique, integrated with optical fiber as a feeder network. Here it has investigated how well OFDM performs when transmitted over the wireless channel and Multi Mode Optical Fiber (MMOF) channel for various S/N values & fiber length respectively. Simulated performance shows that as the SNR is increased the signal gets less affected by noise; hence there will be fewer errors in decoding. For SNR greater than 12 dB, there is no significant difference observed in the received constellation. Therefore, it is not recommended to increase the SNR above 12 dB, as it results in unnecessary enhancement of the system complexity.

whitepaper Advanced File Sharing and Management in the Dell NX42009-06-01 Dell
  The Dell NX4 Network Attached Storage (NAS) device goes beyond simple file servers to provide advanced features ranging from point-in-time snapshots and replication to deduplication, file-level retention, and tiered storage access. Combined with support for both Internet SCSI (iSCSI) and Fibre Channel, this system can help meet enterprise-class requirements, simplify data management, and reduce costs.

whitepaper Dueling Directors2009-06-01 TechTarget
  Fibre Channel (FC) as a technology has been relatively static over the past 10 years, and FC switch innovation has been incremental - from bandwidth support and additional features to increased resilience and availability - culminating in the high-end FC director platform. Aside from a few failed incursions by vendors like QLogic Corp. and others, Brocade Communications Systems Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. now almost exclusively own the high-end Fibre Channel switch and director market.

whitepaper Eternus CS Virtual Tape for Dynamic Infrastructures: Intelligent Data Protection2009-06-01 Fujitsu
  ETERNUS CS supports a huge variety of different platforms with host channels of different types, including standard Fibre Channel, ESCON and FICON. Different channel types can be mixed in a single system. Simultaneous heterogeneous platform support for major mainframe and non-mainframe backup solutions is a strong advantage and simplifies consolidation efforts to drive to lower TCO.

whitepaper Cisco Delivers Enterprise-Class Fibre Channel Blade Switch Solution2009-05-01 Cisco Systems
  The blade server market is the fastest growing segment of the server market, with a year-to-year growth rate of 30 percent according to IDC. Server consolidation and virtualization are primary causes of the growth in blade server and blade switch deployments. In addition, the SAN attach rate for blade servers is growing at a rate of 40 percent. As blade server deployments in the data center continue to grow, IT departments must address several challenges in terms of the scalability, interoperability, any-to-any connectivity, flexibility, and availability capabilities of Fibre Channel blade switches.

whitepaper Fiber Channel Over Ethernet: Enabling Server I/O Consolidation2009-02-01 Brocade Communications Systems
  The development of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) opens the door to the real possibility of transporting more than one I/O traffic flow over a Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE), also called a Data Center Bridging (DCB), link. Moving Storage Area Network (SAN) and Local Area Network (LAN) traffic onto a single transport benefits data centers in many ways. It reduces the initial capital outlays for equipment (CapEx) and lowers the running costs of maintaining and cooling data centers (OpEx). CEE and FCoE combine the traditional Ethernet and storage ports into a single 10 GbE CEE ports, thereby reducing the number of ports in servers. That in turn reduces cabling configurations and simplifies data center environments.

whitepaper Next Generation Networks and the migration towards convergence2008-10-31 ntl:Telewest Business
  The benefits of converged data and voice networks have been on the horizon for some time, but it is only now that they have become a viable option for the majority of firms. Next Generation Networks (NGNs), which combine data, voice and other applications onto a single platform are driving this change.

whitepaper HP MSA2012sa VMware ESX Enterprise Cluster Solution2008-09-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  The MSA2012sa presents a very compelling solution for the cost-conscious customers, or for small branch-office ESX implementations. Its performance is on par with comparable Fibre Channel products, however there is no switching infrastructure required and requires very inexpensive HBAs versus Fibre Channel ones. Its only disadvantage is lack of expandability.
