At first examination, the introduction of iSCSI and FCIP into the traditional Fibre Channel SAN may seem to argue against the use of virtualization and even pose a threat to Fibre Channel (FC) in general.
FCIP works by encapsulating entire Fibre Channel frames in IP packets for transport across TCP/IP links.
The network's improved reliability also means that users can connect to the storage system with FCIP instead of through expensive and limited fibre optic lines.
