Google+Emulex OneConnect UCNAs Extend Network Convergence to HP Integrity Server Blades
Emulex UCNAs Offer HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric support with HP-UX
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 20, 2011 – Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), today announced that its OneConnect™ Universal Converged Network Adapter (UCNA) technology is now supported on HP Integrity server blades for mission-critical computing. This technology converges network and storage traffic by running 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) concurrently, helping clients reduce networking complexity and lower technology costs.
HP NC551m Dual Port 10Gb FlexFabric Adapter mezzanine card, which utilizes Emulex OneConnect UCNA technology, provides excellent 10GbE throughput and latency, and the ability to efficiently consolidate network and storage infrastructures without changing management domains. As part of the Emulex vEngine™ technology, hardware offload and acceleration reduces server overhead and increases the number of virtual machines that can run on virtualized servers.
"Data center managers are looking for ways to simultaneously improve performance and reduce costs. Emulex OneConnect UCNAs do both by offering 10GbE bandwidth with full protocol offload support and a consolidated network infrastructure for capital and operational expense savings," said Shaun Walsh, vice president of marketing, Emulex. "Deploying these adapters with HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric Modules offer the simplest, most flexible way to connect servers and virtual machines (VMs) to any network."
"Enterprises running mission-critical workloads need to maintain the highest levels of availability and maximize system utilization," said Michael McNerney, director, server planning and marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP. "HP's industry-leading Virtual Connect FlexFabric Modules on HP Integrity server blades combined with Emulex OneConnect technology helps clients optimize server usage and decrease downtime -- all while achieving new levels of flexibility."
The HP NC551m Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Adapter mezzanine cards are available now through HP for use with HP-UX 11iv3 on HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blade, BL870c i2 Server Blade and BL890c i2 Server Blade.
