Emulex continues the innovation
COSTA MESA, Calif., July 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) — Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced that its LightPulse(r) Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), available from Sun as the Sun StorageTek(tm) Enterprise Class 4Gb/s PCI Express HBA, now offer Virtual HBA technology within Solaris(tm) 10 Operating System (OS) environments. Enhanced capabilities such as virtual port management, available via Emulex’s next generation HBAnyware management suite, are designed to enhance the overall functionality of Solaris(tm) Containers.
“Once again, Emulex is demonstrating leadership in the area of virtualization by providing enhanced capabilities for virtualized servers within Solaris environments,” said Scott McIntyre, vice president of customer marketing, Emulex Corp. “Emulex pioneered Virtual HBA technology and is the only HBA vendor to support Sun’s Solaris Containers for virtualized server environments.”
Emulex’s family of 4Gb/s and 8Gb/s HBAs support Virtual HBA technology, which allows users to effectively virtualize the HBA functionality so each virtual machine running on a server can independently access its own protected storage. Coupled with Solaris Containers, Emulex Virtual HBA technology, which leverages the NPIV standard, also allows customers to maintain usage of SAN management tools and best practices, such as fabric zoning and LUN mapping/masking.
Very cool, bringing extra functionality to Solaris 10 has to be a good thing, and should bring new opportunities for Sun, as well as the end user community. Do check it out.
