Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your message.
Unfortunately they're looking for native FC rather than FCoE and won't
budge (which is making life harder). As far as I can tell, OSA is about
the only option. I'm fairly used to the Ethernet offerings, but
wondered if there is any specialised products geared towards Fibre
Channel in the OR portfolio that I've not spotted.
Cheers,
Robin.

Robin,
We’re all patiently waiting for a 10G version of the EAD which would
be perfect for FibreChannel Ethernet, however in the meantime you’re
left with the OSA and the older WES product (which you can still buy
in 2.5G and 10G form). The OSA has huge install fees, and the WES has
equally huge rental fees - but they’re much of a muchness in terms of
cost. The main benefit is of course an OSA can have additional
wavelengths added in future at a comparatively low cost.
Cheers,
Charlie.

Is anyone aware of an Openreach product that will support
FibreChannel? Is OSA the only way?
Thanks,
Robin.
