* Emulex HBAs extend across the wide range of operating systems that IBM offers -- including Windows, Linux, and VMware -- thereby lowering administrative costs and speeding server deployment.
"Our IBM BladeCenter HS22 offer customers yet another innovation and a true alternative to today's sprawling racks and overheated server rooms," said Alex Yost, vice president, IBM Systems & Technology Group.
"Emulex's 8Gb/s Fibre Channel CIOv Expansion Card provides the critical SAN connectivity and support needed in our new blade solution, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with Emulex on delivering best-in-class technology that enables customers to easily migrate to our blade server environments."
Emulex HBAs provide bandwidth that supports more virtual machines (VMs) per server than other solutions, as well as comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual Fabric that enable users to leverage SAN management tools and best practices at the VM level. They are managed using HBAnyware(r), a secure, automated and centralized enterprise management platform that can be used to seamlessly deploy and manage Emulex HBAs in virtualized or non-virtualized server environments.
Emulex LightPulse HBAs and expansion cards are supported across a range of IBM solutions, including System x Servers and Power Servers.
