NetApp has announced that it is one of the first storage vendors to support director-class multihop Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) with Cisco data center switches, allowing our clients to create larger data center network fabrics and drive measurable value with speed and efficiency by connecting multiple cost-effective FCoE switches. With director-class multihop, businesses now have the IT flexibility to deploy FCoE in the core of large data centers, giving them the ability to reduce cost and improve efficiency on even greater scales.

As a NetApp Star Partner and a Cisco Gold Partner, Sirius is perfectly positioned to provide solutions that combine the best of both partners’ technologies. With NetApp Ethernet Advantage, businesses can quickly find and deploy the right solution for their specific data center and business needs. Together, support for FCoE multihop and the NetApp Ethernet Advantage Program give our NetApp clients even greater choice and flexibility when migrating to FCoE infrastructures.
