Managing parallel infrastructures, a Fibre Channel SAN for storage and an Ethernet LAN for data, creates unnecessary complexity. Two networks mean two sets of tools, processes, and skill sets. It slows troubleshooting, inflates costs, and forces IT to operate in silos.
Migrating to a converged Ethernet fabric eliminates those barriers. By unifying all traffic onto a single, standards-based network, you can streamline operations, leverage your existing team’s expertise, and take advantage of automation with platforms like Arista EOS®.
Where Operational Silos Cost You
Specialized Skills: Fibre Channel requires rare, expensive expertise that’s getting harder to find.
Duplicate Tooling: Monitoring, automation, and management must be maintained for both environments.
Slow MTTR: Storage and network teams often spend more time debating root causes than resolving them.
Making the Most of the Talent You Already Have
Unified Team: Consolidate under a single operations group with shared tools and consistent workflows.
Lower Training Costs: Eliminate the need for ongoing Fibre Channel certifications.
Faster Service Delivery: A single team can provision, manage, and troubleshoot the entire network fabric.
