Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE): Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a storage networking protocol that encapsulates Fiber Channel frames over Ethernet networks. This convergence allows for the consolidation of network and storage infrastructure in data centers, reducing complexity and costs. FCoE operates on Ethernet networks that support a lossless transmission environment, necessary for handling Fiber Channel traffic.
