   A data center is consolidating its server and storage networks to reduce cabling and switch port usage. The team wants to maintain the reliability and performance characteristics of Fibre Channel while using 10GbE switches. The storage array and servers both have Fibre Channel interfaces. What should the team implement to achieve this consolidation?

   • AA separate Fibre Channel SAN with longer cables
   • BFCoE with Fibre Channel Forwarders (FCFs) on the Ethernet switches
   • CiSCSI with TCP offload engines
   • DNAS with NFS over the Ethernet network
