The Unified Wire Solution
With the T404-BT, Chelsio is enabling a unified wire for LAN, SAN and
cluster traffic. This unified wire was made possible by the high band-
width and low latency of 1GbE combined with storage and cluster proto-

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) provides a transition path from leg-
