Demartek Evaluates of HP StoreFabric SN1000E 16Gb FC HBA From Emulex

Demartek
LLC announced its evaluation
of the HP
StoreFabric SN1000E 16Gb FC HBA.

"SSD is changing how every
application is deployed and graded for performance and
responsiveness. In this report, Demartek demonstrates how the next
generation of the I/O delivery model based on PCIe 3.0, SSD and Gen
5 FC are providing measurable benefits and scale to data center
applications," said Shaun Walsh, SVP marketing and corporate
development, Emulex Corporation.
"IT shops are under constant pressure to scale business
applications and improve operational efficiency. This report shows IT
managers how to make their internal and external customer more
productive and effective."

"In our database workload test,
the HP StoreFabric SN1000E 16Gb FC HBA doubled the peak throughput,
reduced latency by more than 50% and completed the workload 26%
faster than the previous generation 8Gb FC HBA," said Dennis
Martin, Demartek president. "We have concluded that faster
storage networking technology such as Gen 5 FC is well-suited to SSD
technology, which is being embraced in an increasing number of
enterprise datacenters."
