Emulex's "universal converged network adapter" platform represents a new direction for the company, one industry analyst told eChannelLine.
The company's new product, OneConnect, is a technical response to the ongoing headache in many IT shops of overloaded network traffic and a resulting sluggishness, stated Richard Villars, vice president, storage systems at IDC.
"It is a pretty straight forward development. There is a combination of trends that are all coming at once. One is the move of 10 Gigabit Ethernet into the data centers and the second is the pendulum swinging away from small volume servers dedicated to one application, to much larger intensive systems."
He stated it is becoming too difficult for systems to process both the work of virtual and physical servers containing intense applications and the network at the same time.
"I think for a lot of time there was a belief that servers were so underutilized for a host of reasons that you didn't have to worry about network overload."
The Emulex OneConnect UCNA platform supports Enhanced Ethernet protocols that support IP and storage networking, including TCP/IP, iSCSI, NAS and FCoE, and the major server architectures within a single hardware platform
The product essentially consolidates IP networking, Fibre Channel storage networking, and clustered low latency networking under one networking fabric, stated Shaun Walsh, vice president of corporate marketing at Emulex.
Simplified systems management and cost savings should result from the presence of fewer items such as adapters like Toshiba Portege M700 Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A10 Adapter, Toshiba Portege R600 Adapter, Toshiba Portege PPR65U Adapter, Toshiba Satellite A75 Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio G25 Adapter, Toshiba Qosmio F50 Adapter, Toshiba Tecra A1 Adapter, Toshiba Tecra A9 Adapter, Toshiba Tecra R10 Adapter, Toshiba Satellite R10 Adapter, switching and cabling in a converged network under OneConnect, he explained.
Universal networking is not a new concept, but this is the first product of its kind that is on the Ethernet, Walsh added.
"So, just as people have consolidated ten or 15 pizza boxes [i.e. single u rackmount servers] on a single physical server with virtualization, we can do the same thing with converged networks, where we can take three network fabrics and run them on all on the same physical piece of hardware."
Greg Schulz, senior analyst and founder of Storage I/O, noted that all of the converged adapter vendors (e.g. Brocade, Emulex, Qlogic and even Intel among others) have either made product announcements or statements of directions around their converged network and storage adapters.
"Look for more noise and activity as the industry shifts to a broader scale adoption of converged I/O, telephony, data and storage networking over the next couple of years."
Schulz stated that new connectivity architectures will be a great boon for common commercial and business applications.
