I/O Consolidation in the Data Center $40.00 The consolidation referred to by the book takes place inside a data center, where crucial assumptions can be made about short cabling lengths and the existence of reliable hardware, ie. very low bit rate losses over the distances inside the center. The authors describe briefly existing network choices, like iSCSI and Infiniband. What they advocate is Fibre Channel over Ethernet [FCoE]. This allows for a unified network inside the center, and concomitant savings in hardware and system maintenance. Much of the book is taken up with explaining FCoE, like its architectural models. The details can get somewhat involved, even though the book deliberately omits some information. A major simplifying concept to understand is that FCoE uses encapsulation of a FC payload. With no fragmenting, there is thus no need for reassembly and all that this implies in complexity. [By close analogy, think of what TCP has to do when it reassembles packets.] Which also speeds up FCoE processing, aiding low latency demands. The most intricate descriptions seem to be about combining FCoE with virtualisation. The latter is now a hot topic within data centers, and making this work with FCoE is nontrivial. The book does not claim that FCoE will entirely supplant existing alternatives like iSCSI, but suggests that these might be pushed out to non-data center usages. |
