QLogic, Cisco and NetApp Corporations commissioned Demartek to perform a hands-on evaluation
of new Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology. This evaluation included installing
and deploying applications using FCoE technology in the QLogic lab facilities and reviewing
several features including system installation configuration, provisioning storage to hosts
and deploying storage to Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server. Demartek
performed this work at the end of May 2008.
QLogic, Cisco and NetApp Corporations also commissioned Demartek to attend the FCoE Test Drive
Event, held June 4 – 6, 2008 at the Manchester Hyatt in in San Diego, California, to observe
and audit the results. Demartek interviewed each of the fourteen participating companies and
