The protocol utilized to transport data between servers and storage for High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define a Storage Area Network (SAN) is Fibre Channel(FC). Fibre Channel is an "invisible" protocol, because it is only known to the technicians that implement it and keep it working. This paper will provide an overview of this technology. 

<p>Uncover the benefits of using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) when converging your data and storage networking for virtual desktop infrastructure.</p> 

Discover the impact desktop virtualization and virtual desktop infrastructure have on your network.
