Introduction to 16Gb Fibre Channel
Next generation SAN-based on 2009 - T11 Specification– Drivers increase VMs/server– Faster SSD storage access– Faster backup
Ecosystem now available
16Gb Fibre Channel (16GFC) will overtake 8GFC in 2014
4© 2012 Emulex Corporation 4© 2012 Emulex Corporation
LPe16000 16Gb Fibre Channel HBAHighest Performing Fibre Channel Connectivity
1600MB per second throughput with over 1 Million IOPS
vScale™ performance and scalability—multi-core ASIC engine with eight cores supports 255 VFs, and 8192 logins/open exchanges for maximum VM density—up to 4x more than other adapters

What the numbers mean
The Emulex LPe16002 delivers
• 5X the IOPS over previous generation in 16GFC SAN
• Almost 2X IOPS over previous generation in 8GFC
SAN
• Faster response times (OLTP)
Half the I/O response for 8GFC
¼ the I/O response for 16GFC
© 2012 Enterprise Strategy Group 18
Why This Matters
• Fibre Channel is still widely used Investment protection
• Virtualized environments need performance VM densities and faster processors
• Ability to handle greater multi tenant environments NPIV
• Greater visibility Integration with VMware vCenter OneCommand Vision
© 2012 Enterprise Strategy Group 19
ESG Lab highlights
• Seamless integration with existing HBAs and tool Emulex OneCommand Manager & older gen HBAs
• Full featured VMware vCenter Plug-in Batch firmware upgrades from vCenter
• Simplified management and maintenance Leverages previous generation drivers
• Five times the performance (OLTP IOPS) and more than 50% reduction in I/O response
Summary
© 2012 Enterprise Strategy Group 20
• Continued drive towards virtualization and private clouds
• VM densities and mixed workload strain existing capabilities
• I/O becomes more strategic• 16Gb Fibre Channel will play a major role for
organizations• Emulex LPe16002 is more than a bandwidth bump, it
is a significant leap forward in performance.
