Product Description
NetApp Unified Connect is the cutting-edge technology first available in Data ONTAP 8.0.1 7-mode that has full support for Converged Enhanced Ethernet. This course will introduce you to implementing and configuring Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) storage area networks on NetApp® storage, as well as look at techniques to converge all Ethernet traffic over a single connection while still supporting legacy Fibre Channel investment.
