My name is Matthew Goepfert, and I work in the Fibre Channel (FC) Consortium. I am currently a junior majoring in Information Technology (IT). Upon ending my sophomore year this past winter, I was in need of a job that would give me hands-on experience with some aspect of IT. I have always had a particular interest in computer networking and plan on getting involved with system/network administration upon graduation. I had heard many positive remarks about the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) from several students at UNH regarding the vast knowledge and experience that people obtain from working there. After applying and being accepted at the start of this past spring semester, I found out that I would be working in the FC Consortium. Up until that point, I had never even heard about FC, let alone had any actual experience with it. This would soon change, as I have gained a very personal level of knowledge regarding the technology from performing various tests on FC devices.

Complications of DCB Interoperability Testing
By Daniel Shea - January 9, 2012
iSCSI over Data Center Bridging (DCB) interoperability testing verifies the functionality of the DCB protocol when integrated with iSCSI traffic among a set of devices from a variety of vendors. Throughout the testing process, several device topologies are incorporated to observe behavior in a collection of scenarios. Since the technology is still in a relatively early stage, the protocols defining its implementation are subject to change. As a result, this creates a small set of complications that must be addressed in order to successfully carry out the testing procedure.
