iSCSI SANs are attractive because of their flexible low/high cost - low/high performance options and the familiar IP architecture. High-end arrays enable both FC and iSCSI interfaces to storage. Enterprise customers have heavy investments in FC infrastructure. With asset utilization being the key SAN benefit, we must leverage both IP and Fibre Channel technologies as we make the strategic decisions for the IT environment for the future.

Some of the topics that will be covered include:

• A strategic recommendation for the future
• Key roadblocks to integration in enterprise environments
• Integration protocols: FCIP, CEE and FCoE - how do they work and why should or should not use them
• Identify where vendor product marketing strategy and opportunities through technology deployment conflicts with customer benefits and return on investment
