Emulex continues to evolve the HBA
COSTA MESA, Calif., April 13, 2009 – Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced that its LightPulse® 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are optimized for use with the new generation of IBM System x Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series-based servers. Emulex 8Gb/s HBAs, working with IBM System x3650 M2 and IBM System x3550 M2 equipped with Intel QuickPath Interconnect technology (QPI), provide customers with the increased performance, I/O bandwidth and the scalability necessary for their virtualized server environments.
“With greater transaction rates and more effective CPU utilization than other market offerings, Emulex 8Gb/s HBAs are best positioned to handle the mission-critical and I/O-intensive applications of next-generation data centers,†said Steve Daheb, chief marketing officer and senior vice president of business development, Emulex. “By working closely with IBM and other industry leaders, we will continue to deliver best-in-class HBA and connectivity technologies that meet the demanding requirements of rapidly-growing virtualized server environments.â€
I remain a fan of the Emulex cards, I’ve been using them (since the LP8000s) for years to connect storage by fibre, their HBA software/drivers are really quite good. Bringing extra functionality and bandwidth has to be a good thing. That they’ve been optimized for use with the new generation Intel Xeon 5500 series servers is good news as is their work with IBM to further enhance their functionality and scalability, anything that can be done to further virtualization as a platform has to be a good thing. I’m off to check out more.
