Brocade New 10GbE And FC Modules Increase Capacity
June 02, 2010 11:41 AM
Brocade is doubling its 10GbE capacity in its flagship MLX router platform and increasing the capacity of the company's DCX Backbone SAN Switch. The need for higher density and higher capacity network and storage infrastructure is driven by the increased use of virtualization in the data center and the explosion of data that needs to be stored and accessed. However, rack space and square footage in existing data centers is at a premium. Increasing density is the logical step in supporting denser data centers.Broadcom Unveils World's First Converged NIC With iSCSI Offload On 10GBASE-T
May 03, 2010 08:00 AM
Broadcom is the de facto standard for 1Gb and 10Gb iSCSI host bus adapter (HBA) offload with shipments expected to exceed one million ports in 2010. This week the company made the 957711 dual-port network interface card (NIC), the world's first 10Gb converged NIC with iSCSI HBA offload to preserve server processor resources available to OEMs, and a 10GBASE-T physical interface for connection with low-cost RJ45 connectors and existing copper cabling. This is an important milestone in the development of the converged networking market.Interop: Weaving New Fabrics
April 29, 2010 10:00 AM
I sat down and said, with a grin, "Infiniband is dead." Asaf Somekh VP of marketing and Christy Lynch, director of corporate communications for Voltaire, took the shot well, but my comment framed the conversation in a way that was useful. Over the last few days at Interop, the differentiator--the long term differentiator--in Ethernet switching is not going to be speeds and feeds. Network performance will always improve, sometimes in baby steps, sometimes in leaps. The differentiator is services, which aren't cut from the same cloth.Brocade Announces Comprehensive Network Connectivity Support For Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
April 26, 2010 08:37 AM
Brocade today announced that its leading-edge storage networking solutions support and optimize Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 to provide customers with comprehensive solutions for reliable access to mission-critical data. As a powerful and cost-effective database solution, SQL Server is deployed by enterprise customers to meet a variety of organizational and departmental needs. The latest iteration - SQL Server 2008 R2 - builds upon this momentum to deliver new features and functionalities, including more efficient IT capabilities and expanded reporting and analytics.iSCSI Watch: EMC and Emulex Do 10Gb
April 09, 2010 03:00 PM
On April 8, Emulex announced that its OneConnect Universal Converged Network Adapters for 10Gb iSCSI and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) are now available through EMC Select for use across the Connectrix, CLARiiON, Celerra and Symmetrix product lines. What stood out to me was that this marks the first 10Gb iSCSI connectivity solution available through EMC Select. Emulex hit three birds with one stone by tapping into the fast growing markets for iSCSI storage and 10Gb Ethernet (GbE), and by seizing an exclusive position with EMC, at least until EMC qualifies a competitor.Gorillas In The Market
March 17, 2010 04:33 PM
The lush, changing landscape of the Fibre Channel market took another interesting turn today with QLogic's announcement of their addition of the 5800V Series stackable switches to EMC's Select program of product offerings. While some may view this announcement as just another new reseller for the 20 port switch, there are several larger implications here to consider.Brocade Shifts Ethernet Strategy
March 11, 2010 11:57 AM
I must admit I was surprised when Brocade, in their quarterly earnings call last month, announced that while their total revenue and earnings were up, Ethernet sales were down almost 25 percent. Analysts were busy downgrading the stock, declaring the Brocade/Foundry merger a failure and generally decrying the foolishness of anyone that dared challenge Cisco in the market. Methinks they doth protest too much.One Million IOPS: Moving The Data Center Bottleneck
March 09, 2010 10:00 AM
The first system administrator to ever upgrade a server undoubtedly experienced a mismatch in performance between the installed server and the new component. Since then, millions of data center managers have experienced first-hand the performance bottleneck constantly moving from one component in their data center to another. Have those years of experience stopped smart people in our industry from challenging whether it makes sense to deploy new generations of faster technology, because the new technology has performance the rest of the system can't use? The answer is no. The latest generation of high-performance converged network adapters is a great case-in-point.Is Emulex Running The HP Table?
March 02, 2010 09:00 AM
On February 26, Emulex announced that its OneConnect Universal Converged Network Adapters are available from HP. This is a massive opportunity, given that HP is the largest OEM consumer of host adapters in the world. It is also significant because time-to-sales will be quick since the new HP-branded products are available for high-volume HP ProLiant rack, tower and blade servers. This also marks a ground floor opportunity for Emulex. These products are the first host adapters available from HP to support Data Center Bridging (DCB) - a technology that underpins converged networks that will dominate the future.Cisco Delivers Redundant Arrays Of Independent Datacenters: The New RAID
February 23, 2010 03:00 PM
On February 8, Cisco announced the introduction of new products that are part of an industry-wide continuum of cloud infrastructure development. One Cisco product, Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV), stands out by dramatically simplifying the deployment of Layer 2 connections between datacenters to form Redundant Arrays of Independent "Datacenters" (RAID).« Previous Page | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | Next Page »
