OCE14000B Datasheet, PDF (2/4 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – Accelerates applications and storage performance

OCe14000B 10GbE and 40GbE
Converged Network Adapters
Emulex VNeX offload technology powered by a multi-core adapter
ASIC engine accelerates the performance of network virtualization
by preserving legacy stateless TCP offloads and scaling methods on
encapsulated packets, providing full native network performance in a
virtual network environment.
Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) support
The OCe14000B adapters leverage RoCEv2 enabling server to server
data movement directly between application memory without any
CPU involvement providing high throughput and data acceleration
on a standard Ethernet fabric without the need for any specialized
infrastructure or management. The OCe14000B adapters support
the new Infiniband Trade Association (IBTA) RoCEv2 specification for
Layer 3 routing.
Flexible workload storage connectivity with FCoE and iSCSI offloads
The OCe14000B adapters support FCoE hardware-based offload
using the same enterprise-class Emulex drivers that work with Emulex
LightPulse® Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). The OCe14000B
adapters also support iSCSI hardware-based offload, providing
performance that is superior to iSCSI solutions based on software
initiators and standard Network Interface Cards (NICs). Finally the
OCe14000B adapters also have the ability to support NIC and iSCSI
and FCoE offloads on the same port (i.e. concurrent storage).
Optimized host virtualization density with SR-IOV support
SR-IOV optimizes I/O for VMs, enabling higher host server
virtualization ratios to deliver maximum server Return on Investment
(ROI). SR-IOV provides a more cost-effective solution than multiple,
physical adapter ports.
SR-IOV enables multiple VMs to directly access the OCe14000B’s I/O
resources, thus allowing VM networking I/O to bypass the host and
take a path directly between the VM and the adapter, eliminating
redundant I/O processing in the hypervisor. This, in turn, allows
higher I/O performance, lower CPU utilization and significantly
reduced latency as compared to the alternative of software-emulated
NIC devices that are implemented in the hypervisor.
Optimized bandwidth allocation with Universal Multi-Channel
port partitioning (also known as network partitioning, NPAR)
Emulex Universal Multi-Channel (UMC) is ideal for virtualized server
environments because bandwidth allocation can be optimized
to support virtual machine migration, management and I/O
intensive applications. UMC allows multiple Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) physical functions (PFs) to be created on each
adapter port. As a CNA, each adapter can be configured with up to
sixteen functions.
The key benefits of deploying Emulex UMC technology include:
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
n Consolidates multiple 1GbE adapters, associated cables and
switch ports
n Higher VM workload bandwidth allocation to drive higher
VM density on host servers
n Lower per-Gb bandwidth cost compared to deploying
multiple 1GbE adapters
Optimized I/O utilization
n Granular bandwidth provisioning minimizes wasted idle
bandwidth and waste of dedicated 1GbE adapters
n Enables Service Level Agreement (SLA) based provisioning
and deployment
Simplified deployment
n UMC is not dependent on specialized OS support
n Works with any 10GbE or 40GbE switch
UMC is ideal for virtualized server environments because bandwidth
allocation can be optimized to support I/O intensive applications,
VM migration, and management functions.
Available Quad-port 10GbE SFP+ Model
Use cases such as Content Delivery Network (CDN) and hosting
providers have standardized on 10GbE and often are looking for
more bandwidth per server for the services they provide.
The Emulex quad-port 10GbE model (OCe14104B) delivers 40GbE
full-duplex bandwidth using a single PCIe slot. An additional benefit
of this configuration is utilization of existing 10GbE SFP+ switch
connections versus buying new 40GbE QSFP+ switches.
Simplified management OneCommand® Manager application
The OneCommand Manager application provides centralized
management of Emulex OneConnect CNAs and LightPulse® HBAs
throughout the data center from a single management console.
The OneCommand Manager application provides a graphical user
interface (GUI) and a scriptable command line user interface (CLI).
OneCommand Manager for VMware is fully integrated with VMware
vCenter to simplify management for virtual server deployments.
Fourth generation platform delivers
enterprise-class reliability and performance
Leveraging generations of advanced, field-proven controller
and adapter technology, OCe14000B CNAs meet the robust
interoperability and reliability requirements of enterprise and
scale-out data centers.
