MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 13, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) --
WHAT: Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), the world's leading
provider of storage networking host bus adapters (HBAs),
will showcase the company's HBA technology, including its
recently announced LP10000Ex PCI-Express-enabled HBA in
conjunction with Intel at the Intel Developer Forum, Oct.
13-14 at the Taipei International Convention Center in
Taiwan.
The Emulex LP10000Ex is designed for use with servers
based on the PCI Express architecture, and is software
compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X systems, enabling
OEMs and end users to migrate seamlessly to this new
scalable, high performance system architecture.
The Emulex LP10000Ex PCI Express HBA, which was announced
at IDF Fall in San Jose, CA last month, is based on
Emulex's latest generation Thor ASIC, which delivers
measured performance in excess of 100,000 I/Os per second
and 790 MB/s throughput across two ports. The LP10000Ex
will leverage Emulex's recently introduced centralized HBA
management suite, HBAnyware(tm), which enables discovery
and complete management of HBAs within the SAN, reducing
total cost of ownership and planned downtime while
enabling sophisticated management capabilities such as
remote firmware upgrades from a single console anywhere in
a SAN. HBAnyware is driver-based technology that leverages
Emulex's unique Service Level Interface (SLI), enabling
full compatibility across the installed base of more than
1,000,000 HBAs and the new LP10000Ex.
WHO: Emulex Corporation is a leading supplier and developer of
storage networking host bus adapters based on both Fibre
Channel and IP networking technologies. The Emulex product
families are based on internally developed ASIC, firmware
