Testing FCoE Designs Seminar Series

  
 

Starting on Tuesday October 6th, 2009, we presented a series of 5 one-hour long webinars concentrating on the subject of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and how to test and verify your FCoE products or designs.

Robert Kembel (the well known authority on everything Fibre Channel), will guide you through the complexities of FCoE in his clear and practical manner. At the end of each webinar there was a Q&A session.

Architecture Models, Testing and Verification, Initiator and Target Emulation, are just a few of the subjects that are explored during the series.
