FCoE Implies FC SAN part of the network !
I liked your article, except the fact that your speculation about storage is not exactly correct.
“ MDS9000 Fibre Channel fabric switches won't appear in this setup because including Fibre Channel will be the very antithesis of a unified fabric” Not sure what you mean by the above statement.
I would like to remind the readers that FCoE also implies ‘FC SAN present somewhere’, in other words, if no FC no real need for FCoE. The articles seems to imply that MDS is not required any more, and that is not true …atleast for next couple of years.
I have address the FCoE evolution with respect to SAN in my blog - http://url.ie/1a96
