Solution to emerging challenges
Virtualize
Converge
Consolidate
Consolidate Multiple low bandwidth links to
high bandwidth link • Reduce # of ports • Reduce # of cables • Improve efficiency
Converge
Multiple traffic types using single infrastructure
Provide the foundation for network virtualization
Further reduce ports & cables
Virtualize
Dynamically create and delete virtual ports
Dynamically provision bandwidth
Track and manage adherence to SLAs & QoS

Enabling Technologies
Lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Physical Topology innovations - Direct Attach Twin-Ax cabling - TOR Switch Architecture
Fibre Channel over Ethernet
Network Convergence
9 Emulex Confidential
FCoE Specification
– Adopted by INCITS T11 FC-BB-5 in June 2007; technical work completed, in public review with T11 Letter Ballot
– Frame format agreed upon by T11 in August 2007 – Broad industry support and participation
Fibre Channel over Ethernet Standard
10 Emulex Confidential
FCoE Fundamentals
Lossless Ethernet required – Priority Flow Control or Pause based
FCoE is not a replacement for FCIP – FCIP is for inter-switch links beyond the Data Center – FCoE is for the Data Center
Fibre Channel services operate identically on FCoE fabrics and native Fibre Channel fabrics
FCoE supports all Fibre Channel advanced features (NPIV, security, etc.) transparently
FCoE will not require changes to Fibre Channel software
FCoE Maintains Full Fibre Channel Compatibility

HBA NIC
4/8G FC 10GbE
Converged Network Adapter (CNA)
CNA provisioned with both NIC and Fibre Channel Drivers
Single adapter / single wire carries FC and IP traffic
Continues to look like separate NIC & HBA to host OS / Hypervisor

Business Benefits of Network Convergence
13 Emulex Confidential
Convergenomics!
Network Convergence is game changing New Economic Model: “Convergenomics” Convergenomics = Data Center Savings
– Up to 28% savings on switches, adapters & rack space
– Up to 42% savings on power and cooling
– Up to 80% savings on cabling Convergenomics = Increased Efficiency
– More Agile Infrastructure – More VMs per physical server
