About Ethernet Fabric Switches
An Ethernet fabric is a network topology that reduces standard three-tier data centre switching systems to one or two tiers, guarantees network traffic is never more than two hops from its destination and operates like a single large switch. Ethernet fabric switches have recently acquired popularity as a solution for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI storage These features aid in the efficient transmission of data over a network. Ethernet fabric switches are self-aggregating, allowing them to handle large amounts of traffic. An Ethernet fabric is a network architecture that is low-cost, high-speed, ultra-low-latency, lossless, and scalable. It can provide full cross-sectional connectivity for 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) linked servers, allowing computing and storage servers to efficiently optimise collective computational power. Ethernet fabric switches, by definition, are components that transport data from a network node to the next node in the network via the correct port (door). The switching fabric in a node consists of the switching units (individual boxes), the integrated circuits they contain, and the code that controls switching paths. The growing number of data centres throughout the world is one of the key drivers for Ethernet fabric switches.
