Network design, architecture, thinking, working. Tech.
With great pleasure I present an image of the event whereupon I did present a FibreChannel over Token Ring badge to Silvano Gai. As you can see, he is clearly pleased with such a wondrous gift. On behalf of the FibreChannel over Token Ring community, I say with great pride, mission accomplished.
Why does HSRP have a “standby-bia” command option ?
In the recent weeks, J. Michael Metz from Cisco entered a ****ing contest with my friend Greg and decided to prove that the FCoE standards are done.
J Michel Metz attempted a sleight of hand magic trick to astroturf over the lack of progress on the Ethernet standards. Unpleasant.
You can take the view that Cisco Unified Computing System is a product that is carefully designed so that selling it is as easy as possible. A cynical marketing analysis has produced a product that customers can be convinced to buy. Or is it an innovation in server and data centre design that is desperately needed ?

Chris Evans believes that “FCoE” will rule the world. Hah. I believe it’s just a transition technology that drags Storage out of it’s closed, proprietary mindset into the open collaborative world. Data Networks can easily adapt.
There is some misconception by many in the storage industry that FCoE is some type of replacement for Infiniband. My view is that FCoE is cheaper, dumber but MARKETABLE alternative.
This photo reminds me of networks that I have worked on. FCoE anyone ?
