Storage over Ethernet: What's in It for Me?

Abstract: 

Convergence is coming, or so the storage, network, and server vendors want us to believe. Fibre Channel is moving to Ethernet with FCoE, and SCSI is already there, thanks to iSCSI. But why is everything heading to Ethernet and what's the value to the system administrator and the business? This session gives an overview of this new "everything over Ethernet" world, from DCB to virtual I/O, and offers practical advice on systems architecture, how long to wait, and when to buy.
