Key Features.

• Linux source code driver for implementing embedded Linux storage solutions, such as Intel-based solutions.
• Sample SCSI target mode driver for custom implementation
• Both Initiator and target mode processes are enabled
• Interface to Open Source SCST Subsystem
• Compatible with Emulex SLI3 (Service Level Interface) technology enabling single-driver support for Emulex LightPulse® 2, 4 and 8Gb/s HBS, and 10Gb/s CNAs in addition to FCoE-based connectivity
• High performance features such as Host Buffer Queue (HBQ) to allow the target driver to customize the application's buffer handling and Interrupt Coalescing to improve CPU-offload
• NPIV support, allowing virtual ports to be created with individual SCST target instances bound to them
• FCP-3 Tape Target Error Recovery Protocol support for tape and virtual tape applications

Key Benefits

• Provides flexibility to develop and deploy storage solutions based on Emulex Fibre Channel and FCoE SCSI target mode drivers
• Decreases time-to-market for hardware and software developers with Linux-based SDK and technical documentation to be utilized by the customer in any embedded OS environment Enhances portability and provides driver compatibility across all generations of Emulex adapters
• Helps developers simplify their target driver development by leveraging Linux and low-cost Intel hardware
• Target performance for mixed I/O applications at least 90% of initiator IOPs.
• Provides a world-class support infrastructure from Emulex to assist your company during the development phase

More Advantages from the TargetConnect™ SDK

• Emulex provides a choice of two driver options for either proprietary target mode solutions or Open Source products using the SCST infrastructure.
• Emulex drivers have undergone Emulex enterprise-class Device Validation Testing (DVT) to ensure robust reliability. This is the same testing standard used by world-class OEMs like IBM, HP, and EMC.
• Emulex provides greater reliability with MTBF of 10 million hours and over 7 million ports installed.
• Emulex provides technical training plus one year of developer support for developers who sign a Software License Agreement.
