Intel uses open-source effort to boost networking plan
By
Intel has released source code for a server software project that lets Fibre Channel communications run on a more ordinary Ethernet network. To further the project, Intel on Tuesday announced the Open-FCoE.org to house the source code. It’s governed by version 2 of the General Public License.
Fibre Channel is a higher-end network technology used to connect storage systems to servers. Intel and networking giant Cisco Systems are among those working to adapt it for ordinary and ubiquitous Ethernet technology, a technology called Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), appropriately enough.
