The Emulex 8Gb/s product

LPe12000 single-channel 8Gb/s PCIe 2.0 Fibre Channel HBA

LPe12002 dual-channel PCIe 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBA

Why do anything? HP has an 8Gb/s lead in the field

• First mover advantage

Infrastructure bundle • Available for MSA and EVA attachments

• 8Gb/s solution and functionality for basically the same price as the 4Gb/s equivalent

Upgrades to existing infrastructures• Target 2Gb/s and 4Gb/s environments

Capitalises on significant existing installed market position

Why do it now? Virtualization and virtual

servers

• Higher SAN attached rates dictated by Virtual Server deployments

• Increased I/O & bandwidths requirements

• Demand for virtual server level QoS, management and measurement

Why do it now? Multi-core processors

• Need to aligned I/O and bandwidth with the processing power offered with Multi-core processors

Increasing density of virtual servers

• VMware currently supports up to 64 virtual machines per server

• 8Gb/s from Emulex & Brocade can support up to 256 virtual servers (per port)

• Room for growth and investmentprotection that customers are demanding

Why do it now?

Windows 2008• New method of addressing I/O controllers via the MSI-X stack

• Running Kernel no longer interrupted to service I/O requests

• TPC-E benchmarks proved an 18% transaction increase

• Now supported by the Emulex 8Gb/s HBA's

Data volume growth• Stored data growing at approximately 70% YOY

• Infrastructure MUST keep pace

• 8Gb/s infrastructure delivers data more efficiently

• 8Gb/s infrastructure cuts waiting time down for faster processors

Faster backup times allow for more production processing time• HP’s new Ultrium 4 requires 8Gb/s connections to drive full

bandwidth of 256 Mb/s

Why do it now? Faster restore times

•  8Gb/s shortens the data recovery phase  

Enhanced security •  Support DH-CHAP authentication

• This is the first time that a storage area network has been secure • A key requirement in the FSA environment

Enhanced data protection (Emulex 8Gb/s are BlockGuard ready)• Ready for HP Arrays at the time they implement BlockGuard

• Data frame has an additional Data Integrity field

• Enhanced end-to-end data integrity

Power Efficient• PCIe 2.0 has the ability to shut down I/O lanes that are not being used

• Less power use when not fully utilized

Reduction of ISL’s • 8Gb/s performance increase allows for consolidation of Inter Switch

Links (ISLs) between core switches • More ports available for storage and server connections

Why implement with Brocade / Emulex? History of broad market adoption

More acceptable bundle in channel and at the end user

• Better understood

• Leverage existing channel intellectual property

Leverage existing install base

• Largest number of 1Gb/s ports

• Largest number of 2Gb/s ports

Technology leadership

• First to introduce NPIV

• The foundation for virtual environments

Wide range of SAN interoperability options compared to other solutions
