Emulex Integration with FlexFabric
  • Mezzanine and Adaptor
  • High Performance & Low CPU Cycles
  • Full PCIe x8 Performance
  • NIC, iSCSI, FCoE and FC solutions
  • OneCommand Management
  • Single Management interface for all protocols

Emulex connectivity options include the HP NC551i Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Adapter and the HPNC551m Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Adapter mezzanine card for use in the new HP ProLiant G7 server blades, the HP StorageWorks CN1000E Dual Port Converged Network Adapter (CNA) for HP ProLiant rack and tower servers, the HP NC550SFP Dual Port 10Gb/s Server Adapter, and the HP NC550m Dual Port Flex-10 10Gb/s Ethernet Adapter for HP ProLiant blade servers. The Universal Local Area Network on Motherboard (ULOM) and UCNA technology is capable of running 10Gb Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) or iSCSI concurrently. The convergence of network and storage traffic helps IT organizations keep pace by deploying a new advanced network architecture integrated into servers which is more coherent, flexible, and agile than today’s 10GbE only networks.

What is HP’s Converged Infrastructure?

HP Converged Infrastructure is delivered through a next-generation IT architecture – based on standards – that ‘converges’ virtualized compute, storage and networks with facilities into a single shared-services environment optimized for any workload. This unique approach will help your business accelerate the delivery of application environments in a predictable, repeatable way that makes the most efficient use of IT, facility and staff resources to drive business innovation.

Emulex’s latest network convergence solutions reinforce HP’s Converged Infrastructure strategy, enabling the convergence of storage, network and server resources across a 10Gigabit Ethernet-based backbone using Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Emulex’s UCNA technology and HP’s Flex Fabric architecture deliver powerful performance for improved networking capabilities and cost savings of converged network connectivity. Converged Infrastructure solutions from HP using Emulex UCNA technology deliver the consolidation benefits of convergence while maintaining seamless interoperability with existing data center core networks.

HP and Emulex 10GbE and FCoE Adapters

We recently launched a set of HP FCoE and 10GbE solutions based on OneConnect UCNA technology. The Emulex OneConnect UCNA meets HP's rigorous standards for functionality, quality and commitment to industry standards. The Emulex OneConnect FCoE UCNA allows IT administrators to converge their physical networks, while maintaining their application, server, storage and security administration domains. This allows companies to reduce their operational costs and improve business results. The Emulex OneConnect 10Gb/s Ethernet UCNA allows customers to match their application high bandwidth connectivity requirements with the benefits of industry standard 10Gb/s Ethernet.

Converged-ready NICs have built-in multi-protocol support for greatest I/O flexiblity

By selecting intelligent I/O solutions provided by Emulex, HP delivers high performance 10GbE I/O connectivity with the greatest protocol flexibility for a converged network environment as well as a rock-solid Fibre Channel suite of adapters for the perfect Storage Area Network (SAN) solution. With these intelligent I/O solutions, HP customers reduce operational expenses (OPEX) and capital expenses (CAPEX) through:

  • Flexible I/O connectivity - HP adapters based on Emulex technology support this open architecture using industry standards to simplify server and storage network connections, while providing seamless interoperability with existing core data center networks.  For every FlexFabric format, form factor and topology, HP has chosen adapters provided by Emulex for intelligent I/O.    In addition, with these adapters, HP customers can use FCoE, iSCSI or TCP/IP protocols with a Converged-Ready NIC for the same price as basic 10GbE NICs.
  • Lower power and cooling requirements - HBAs and Converged-Ready NICs provided by Emulex offload I/O processing, operating much more efficiently than a generalized system processor, and are complementary to the new power/performance efficiency features of the HP Gen8 product family. These adapters offload protocol processing from the server operating software stack, thus lowering the CPU load significantly, and resulting in far lower system power usage.
  • Ease of upgrading and management - Like HP Gen8 servers, intelligent I/O is cloud- and virtualization-aware,with future-proofing features for a converged network environment.  Support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), co-developed by Emulex, is available in HP adapters with Virtual Connect to maximize the benefits of virtualization deployments. Let intelligent I/O reduce the complexity of your data centers.
  • To learn more about these benefits, please download the “HP FlexFabric 10GbE and 16GFC Adapters for HP Gen8 are Why I/O is Strategic” whitepaper.

HP FlatSAN technology – Virtual Connect FlexFabric Direct Attach to HP 3PAR, Enabled by Emulex

The ability to directly attach HP 3PAR arrays to HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules in HP BladeSystem servers greatly simplifies how customers can connect HP storage to HP servers. The HP integrated FlexFabric technology provided by Emulex delivers 10GbE/FCoE connectivity for today’s intense I/O performance requirements, and enables HP Virtual Connect technology. With the introduction of Virtual Connect Direct Attach Fibre Channel you can eliminate half your SAN Fabric cost resulting in 86% fewer parts, 55% lower latency, and 2.5x faster provisioning. The end result reduces a complex multi-tier SAN infrastructure and flattens it into a Single Tier Flat SAN.
