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
