“Today’s SANs are under pressure to keep pace with data growth, virtual machine (VM) density and application performance requirements,” said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. “With this end-to-end 16GFC SAN infrastructure solution, which utilises the world’s fastest and most reliable 16GFC HBAs from Emulex, we’re stretching the capabilities of what is possible for today’s bandwidth-intensive data centers.”
With this certification, Emulex field-proven 16GFC HBAs are fully interoperable with the new Infortrend EonStor DS G7i 16GFC storage solutions. Together, the Infortrend and Emulex 16GFC SAN solution meets the demand for faster bandwidth and higher throughput, and unleashes the potential of multi-core processor and solid state disk (SSD)-driven applications and services. Infortrend’s landmark 16GFC EonStor DS G7i series provides a massive boost in performance by doubling throughput and providing superior I/O operations per second (IOPS) and are backward compatible with customers’ existing 4GFC and 8GFC infrastructures allowing customers to simultaneously optimise and future proof their storage environments.
“Infortrend's 16GFC storage solutions are the answer to those seeking to guarantee the best possible performance - both now and in the future - over Fibre Channel networks,” said Thomas Kao, Senior Director of Product Planning at Infortrend. “We are partnering with industry leaders to add quality and proven 16GFC technology to our new EonStor DS storage solutions and provide our users with the best choice in high-speed HBAs to allow the 16GFC storage to reach its full potential.”
Emulex 16GFC technology enables Infortrend customers to meet the most demanding IT environments in the following ways:
• ?Industry Leading Fibre Channel Performance: Emulex 16GFC technology delivers up to 1.2 million IOPS on a single port, enabling its LightPulse HBAs to meet the needs of today’s performance hungry applications, SSD and virtualised and cloud computing environments. Competing HBAs are limited to half the IOPS per port2, preventing resource scaling between ports and potentially putting SLAs at risk.
• ?Increased I/O Bandwidth with PCIe 3.0 Support: Emulex 16GFC technology supports PCIe 3.0, which provides a faster I/O bus, more PCIe lanes and increased I/O bandwidth, enabling Emulex 16GFC technology to match the performance capabilities of server platforms based on the new Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 product family.
• ?GreenState™ Power Efficiency: Emulex 16GFC technology reduces data center power consumption and associated operational expenditures (OPEX) by delivering exceptional power to port ratios of less than three watts per port.
• ?Superior Reliability: The Emulex LightPulse family of HBAs has the industry’s highest published mean time between failures (MTBF), delivering enterprise class reliability, with unmatched MTBF of 10 million hours, essential for mission-critical, cloud and virtualised applications.
