Emulex and Fusion-io Team to Deliver Fast I/O Caching and Connectivity SAN Solutions
Companies Demonstrate Leading Solution for Caching and Access to Fast Storage
ORACLE OPENWORLD 2012, SAN FRANCISCO and COSTA MESA, Calif., October 1, 2012 – Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced that it is working with Fusion-io to deliver integrated, customized I/O caching and connectivity solutions for tier 1 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), significantly accelerating the performance of databases, data warehouses, heavily virtualized environments and private/hybrid clouds with improved throughput and application response time. The solution being demonstrated this week at Oracle OpenWorld consists of Emulex’s newly announced LightPulse® LPe16000B series of 16Gb Fibre Channel (16GFC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), Fusion-io ioDrive2 PCIe-based flash memory connected to ION Data Accelerator software for caching and fast access to shared storage.
“Enterprise workloads are becoming more demanding, data is proliferating and shared Fibre Channel-based storage remains the trusted connectivity protocol for storage area networks (SANs) and the primary backbone of the data center,” said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. “Emulex is partnering with flash memory providers such as Fusion-io to deliver integrated and differentiated I/O caching and connectivity solutions that complement our OEM customers’ offerings for performance hungry applications including databases, warehouses, heavily virtualized environments and private/hybrid clouds.”
Emulex’s tenth generation LPe16000B 16GFC HBAs are the only adapters on the market that offer industry-leading 1.2 million I/O operations per second (IOPS) on a single port,¹ making them the fastest storage connectivity solution on the market. These LightPulse HBAs deliver unsurpassed performance along with reliability, manageability and data integrity that can’t be matched, complementing the persistent, high capacity Fusion ioMemory platform, which leverages flash memory to significantly increase data center efficiency with enterprise grade performance, reliability, availability and manageability. The manageability and performance of the overall solution is enhanced with the use of Emulex OneCommand® Vision, a proactive performance management solution designed to optimize storage I/O resources within virtualized and cloud environments.
“Emulex’s dedication to providing fast storage connectivity solutions makes them a natural fit with Fusion-io, as we are both providing innovative solutions that disrupt the status quo and change the way data centers have been architected for decades,” said Tyler Smith, Vice President of Alliances, Fusion-io. “By pairing Emulex technology with native ioMemory access to flash memory, customers can accelerate their applications and significantly reduce complex and expensive storage sprawl.”
The joint I/O caching and connectivity solution is being demonstrated at Oracle OpenWorld this week in San Francisco in Fusion-io booth #1227. To learn more about this solution, attendees can also visit Emulex’s booth #943.
