Leveraging a Flex System environment: NPIV to FC SAN

Figure 8 shows an example of how a client can use the G8264CS for convergence in a Flex System environment.

This approach can help a client significantly reduces costs inside the chassis with a single adapter in the compute

node using CNA functionality, with a 10Gb Ethernet module, such as the SI4093/EN4093/EN4093R, in the chassis

(no FC adapter or switches necessary). The client can then use the G8264CS at the top of the rack or somewhere

else in the data center, breaking out the FC connections and connecting to the existing Brocade or Cisco SAN

switches, and then in to the storage devices.
