Virtualized I/O
New multi-core servers are enabling much higher virtualization ratios.
OneConnect adapters support NetQueue for VMware and Virtual
Machine Queue (VMQ) for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V to
optimize performance for virtualized servers.
Network Convergence
OneConnect OCe11102 UCNAs support transmission of storage and
network traffic over a converged lossless network based on IEEE Data
Center Bridging (DCB) standards. Network convergence delivers
significant cost savings by eliminating separate infrastructures for storage
and networking and supporting bandwidth allocation to optimize
throughput.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
OneConnect OCe11102 UCNAs support FCoE, seamlessly converging Fibre
Channel and Ethernet while leveraging mature Fibre Channel management
tools and processes. By consolidating traffic, FCoE simplifies network
management and significantly reduces total cost of ownership (TCO).
iSCSI
OneConnect OCe11102 UCNA is an optimum solution for iSCSI storage
deployments. Using a hardware iSCSI adapter with full protocol offload
provides better performance and simplified management when
compared to iSCSI software initiators and standard NICs. OneConnect
iSCSI and FCoE adapters also support iSCSI over DCB to enable lossless
transmissions and optimized performance.
Enterprise iSCSI
The OneConnect OCe11102 Enterprise iSCSI solution includes support for
DCB standards for optimum performance. Priority Flow Control (PFC) is
used to insure a consistent stream of data between servers and storage
arrays. Quality of Service (QoS) and Enhanced Transmission Selection
(ETS) support protocol priorities and allocation of bandwidth for iSCSI
and IP traffic.
Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
With OneConnect adapters support for SR-IOV, VMs can share adapter
ports to optimize performance with up to 32 virtual functions per
port. VM to VM communication is enabled with a Layer 2 switch that is
embedded in the OneConnect adapter. OneConnect adapters are PCI-SIG
compliant and will support SR-IOV as available with hypervisors.
Universal Multi-Channel
The Universal Multi-Channel (UMC) capability of OneConnect adapters
allows multiple PCI functions to be created on each adapter port. Each
NIC function is presented to the operating system or hypervisor as a
physical port with a separate MAC address and user-assigned bandwidth.
This enables a single adapter port to provide specialized NIC functions
for different uses, such as payload traffic, guest migration and console
management. OneConnect Ethernet adapters present four NIC functions
per port. OneConnect iSCSI and FCoE adapters present one iSCSI or FCoE
function plus three NIC functions per port.
Multiple boot options
OCe11102 storage adapters support Fibre Channel, iSCSI and Preboot
eXecution Environment (PXE) boot options for both x86 and Universal
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) platforms.
Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Efficiency
The Emulex OneCommand® Manager enterprise class management
application features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that
provides centralized management of all adapters provided by Emulex.
This enables IT administrators to manage network connectivity with one
tool for maximum efficiency. OneCommand Manager also features:
n OneCommand® Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server—
enables comprehensive control of Fibre Channel HBAs and network
(FCoE, iSCSI and TCP/IP NIC) connectivity solutions provided by
Emulex from VMware’s vCenter Server management console. Emulex
OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server supports
both the new VMware vSphere 5.1 Web Client and the VMware
vCenter Server desktop client with an identical feature set regardless
of the client.
Quality of service
Using the OneCommand Manager application, administrators can
allocate portions of the 10GbE bandwidth to network or storage traffic.
Using OneConnect support for virtual ports, storage-based QoS can be
individually managed for VMs.
Highest Peformance and Reliability
Enterprise-ready
Leveraging ten generations of advanced, field-proven Fibre Channel
HBA technology, the Emulex OneConnect family meets the robust
interoperability and reliability requirements of corporate data centers.
The design leverages proven Emulex enterprise-class drivers, firmware
and hardware architectures, while delivering sophisticated capabilities
required to manage multiple types of data flow concurrently with
optimized performance.
vEngine technology
Emulex vEngine technology allows data centers to take full advantage
of virtualization capabilities of new multi-core servers. With protocol
offloads for TCP, iSCSI and FCoE, critical CPU resources are dedicated to
running VMs, not I/O overhead.
Greener data centers
The Emulex OneConnect UCNA platform delivers industry-leading
performance and scalability per watt, reducing requirements for
power and cooling. Protocol offload enables efficient use of computing
resources, supports more VMs per CPU, and reduces the number of
servers required to support data center demands.
Advanced error checking
End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC, ECC and
other advanced error checking and correcting ensure that data is safe
from corruption.
Pay-As-You-Go¹
OneConnect OCe11102 adapters are based on a single hardware
platform, which means support for storage connectivity can be managed
with keys that enable the use of protocol offloads. With this flexibility, a
baseline OneConnect network adapter can support FCoE or iSCSI offload
without removing or replacing the board.
