Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Market Booming: TechNavio Report

LONDON - May 22, 2014 - PRLog -- TechNavio, the independent tech-focused global research firm, has published their report on the Global Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Market. The market is growing at a CAGR of 37.73 percent from 2013-2018.

An FCoE is a storage protocol that enables fiber channel communications over Ethernet. The use of FCoE consolidates network data transmission and reduces the complexity of data centers. FCoE transmission condenses fiber channel frames into Ethernet frames, which can be easily transmitted across the network. FCoE increases reliability and productivity of a network infrastructure. This technology is mainly used in company networks and data center networks.
