Finisar Offers Comprehensive Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE)
Protocol Training
Finisar's Medusa Labs to Provide In-Depth Protocol Training for Emerging
FCoE Standard
SUNNYVALE, CA, Jul 07, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Finisar
Corporation (NASDAQ: FNSR), a global technology leader in fiber optic
and test and measurement solutions for high-speed networks, today announced
a new training course designed to provide protocol knowledge of the emerging
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) standard being adopted by the INCITS
T11 Committee. Taught by Finisar's Medusa Labs staff of networking protocol
experts, the class will feature the latest developments in FCoE architecture
and instrumentation. Using proven training techniques, participants will
gain valuable experience and insight into working with this latest storage
protocol. Participants will also receive hands on training analyzing Fibre
Channel traces with Finisar's industry leading 10Gbps Xgig(R) analyzer.
Over the last year, the FCoE protocol specification has garnered interest
within the data networking industry due to its potential to allow enterprise
data centers to consolidate and optimize existing systems, while maintaining
the same latency, security and traffic management of existing Fibre Channel
offerings. Additionally, the rise of server virtualization within the
data center has caused an increased demand for Fibre Channel connectivity,
also contributing to the growing significance of the FCoE standard.
A leading provider of storage test and measurement equipment, Finisar(R)
is the first company to offer both training courses and analysis tools
based on the FCoE standard. As more datacenters begin utilizing the FCoE
protocol, a growing number of storage professionals will require knowledge
and training on this standard. Course labs emphasize the analysis of traces
taken from multi-vendor equipment using Finisar analytical tools, so that
class attendees gain valuable insight into this new protocol.
"Because today's storage environments are increasingly complex, network
professionals must be proficient in a variety of storage protocols,"
said Dave Buse, general manager of Network Tools at Finisar. "As
the industry's foremost authority on Fibre Channel and SAN training and
education, Finisar's Medusa Labs has the expertise and resources to provide
unparalled, in-depth instruction on FCoE."
The next public class will be held on September 29. Medusa Labs also offers
private, on-site courses.
