QLogic Provides Connectivity for EMC VNX

10GbE and 16Gb FC

QLogic Corp., announced that its 10GbE and 16Gb FC technologies are available for EMC’s VNX Series hybrid flash storage arrays.

The latest QLogic offerings provide FC, FCoE, iSCSI and network connectivity for the VNX Series. Continued collaboration between QLogic and EMC enables robust storage efficiency, high data availability and application performance for VNX Series customers.

VNX storage solutions are designed to deliver no-compromise economics while balancing the reliability, performance and scalability requirements of virtualized data centers with a unified storage platform that supports both block and file storage. Combined with QLogic’s performance 10GbE and FC technologies, the VNX Series addresses evolving data center needs with reliable storage solutions.

Our latest collaboration with EMC expands the capabilities of the VNX Series with full support for NIC, iSCSI, FC and FCoE storage environments,” said Vikram Karvat, VP of products, marketing and planning, QLogic. “Organizations that deploy EMC VNX Series storage systems with QLogic 10GbE and FC connectivity can accelerate time-to-deployment and protect current IT investments with these advanced, high-performance storage solutions.

Our customers need a flexible storage system that can meet the ever-changing needs of their virtualized data center workloads,” said Jon Siegal, VP, core technologies, EMC. “The addition of QLogic 10GbE and Gen 5 FC connectivity to EMC VNX hybrid flash arrays adds broad protocol support and allows our joint customers to maximize the value of their IT infrastructure.

By delivering wire-speed 10GbE performance with low CPU utilization, QLogic 10GbE technology excels in modern computing environments. Featuring multiple protocol offload and concurrent LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (FCoE, iSCSI) protocol processing over a shared 10GbE link, QLogic 10GbE technology offers flexibility.low CPU utilization frees up cycles for business-critical applications and the increased mobility of VMs.

QLogic FC solutions are designed to tackle high-bandwidth, I/O-intensive applications where reliability is critical. Gen 5 FC connectivity also allows enterprises to improve price-performance, reduce power consumption-per-gigabit and support more VMs per server. QLogic FC solutions eliminate throughput bottlenecks from host to storage, giving EMC users application performance and optimum I/O. All QLogic FC solutions are backward-compatible with 8Gb and 4Gb FC networks, providing investment protection for existing FC SAN infrastructure.
