Description

• Optimized network and storage connectivity

  The OCe11102-F adapter supports FCoE offload using the same field-proven Emulex drivers that work with Emulex LightPulse Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). It also supports iSCSI offload, providing performance that is superior to iSCSI solutions based on software initiators and standard NICs. Multi-core server platforms, server virtualization and high-demand applications are driving the need for low-latency, high-bandwidth networks. The OCe11102-F adapters meet these requirements with full 10GbE network performance using an 8-lane PCI Express Gen 2 architecture and support for stateless TCP/IP and TCP Chimney offloads. Fiber Channel SAN, iSCSI and Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) boot support make the OCe11102-F an ideal solution for blade servers and other diskless deployments.

• Simplified management

  The OneCommand Manager application provides centralized management of Emulex One Connect UCNAs and LightPulse HBAs throughout the data center from a centralized management console. The OneCommand Manager application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and a scriptable command line user interface (CLI), which drives administration efficiency. Using the OneCommand Manager application, administrators can allocate portions of the 10Gb Ethernet bandwidth to network or storage traffic.

• Highest performance and reliability

  Leveraging ten generations of advanced, field-proven HBA technology, the OCe11102-F meets the robust interoperability and reliability requirements of corporate data centers. Protocol offloads for TCP/IP, iSCSI and FCoE enable more VMs per server, providing greater cost savings for server virtualization.

• Green data centers

  The OCe11102-F uses the BladeEngine 3 controller with integrated Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) and KR (Backplane Ethernet) Serializer/ Deserializer (SerDes) interfaces to minimize power usage. Protocol offloads enable 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 features ensure that data is safe from corruption.
