8
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
9
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
10
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 investment protection that customers are demanding
11
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
12
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
13
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
