Lord of the SANs – OneCommand to Rule All of Your Networks
Posted December 18th, 2009 by Don WakeIn Tolkien’s masterful work of art The Lord of the Rings, there was this bug-eyed short guy with furry feet and a bad smoking habit who had a great ring of power. 
And as the saying goes, “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.” Everyone was chasing this poor guy and trying to snatch that ring away from him so that they could rule all of “Middle Earth.” Fortunately, one need not be a short, furry-footed, bug-eyed smoker to have power nor does one need a ring. Emulex concentrated the power to rule all of your networks with OneCommand.

“At Dell, we’re focused on delivering open, flexible and integrated solutions that reduce the complexity in the systems management space,” see: Dell OpenManage

Alright Thomas we need to talk (no offense to any actual Thomas out there that doesn’t doubt that the 8 Gb/s Emulex HBA is the way to go). The point of this blog is to discuss why you need to get off the fence and jump into the 8 Gb/s HBA world now and quit doubting and being a skeptic. I have some direct, physical, personal evidence to share with you to help remove your skeptical attitude about using an 8 Gb/s HBA when you think a 4 Gb/s will do.
