Infortrend 16G FC Storage Optimized for Use with Emulex 16G FC HBAs
Infortrend and Emulex Corporation today announced that the Infortrend landmark 16G Fibre Channel (FC) "RAID storage" products and Emulex LightPulse 16G FC Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are fully tested with perfect compatibility, allowing users to take advantage of the high-performance throughput and speed provided by 16G FC SAN infrastructures.
The demand for faster bandwidth and higher throughput is constantly increasing, as is the technology that powers Infortrend's datacenters, cloud services and high-volume servers. 16G FC, a natural evolution of FC, doubles the throughput of 8G FC to unleash the potential of multi-core processor & solid state disk (SSD)-driven applications and services.
Infortrend's new 16G FC models provide a massive boost by doubling throughput and providing superior I/O operations per second (IOPS) and are backward compatible with customers' existing FC infrastructure, all the same price as existing 8G FC storage* – allowing customers to simultaneously optimize and future proof their storage. Emulex field-proven 16G FC technology empowers users with industry-leading performance, increased throughput density, and higher power efficiency, making it the perfect choice for users of Infortrend's high-performance 16G FC EonStor DS G7i storage.
"The computing industry is experiencing mounting demand for storage performance due to increases in data growth, virtual machine density and application performance requirements," said Shaun Walsh, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development at Emulex, adding, "Combined with Infortrend's 16G FC EonStor DS G7i, Emulex LightPulse 16G FC HBAs and 16G FC target technology address these requirements by providing extremely fast response times, as well as delivering consolidation and up to 1.3 million IOPS."
Thomas Kao, Senior Director of Product Planning at Infortrend, stated, "Infortrend's 16G FC storage solutions are the answer to those seeking to guarantee the best possible performance - both now and in the future - over FC networks." Adding, "We fully welcome the support of HBAs from industry-leaders such as Emulex as it both adds quality and proven technology to the 16G FC ecosystem and provides our users with the best choice in high-speed HBAs to allow their 16G FC storage to reach its full potential."
