COSTA MESA, Calif. and TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 31, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), the industry's preeminent source for a broad range of advanced storage networking infrastructure solutions, will showcase its recently announced 4Gb/s products portfolio at Computex Taipei, May 31-June 4, at the Taipei World Trade Center Taiwan in Stand No. C0829. Emulex is taking a leadership position in bringing 4Gb/s technology to market and is teaming with its OEM customers to bring its 4Gb/s connectivity solutions to market.
Emulex 4Gb/s I/O Controllers and HBAs
PCI-X: The Emulex LP11000 host bus adapter offers a highly-integrated 4Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity solution for enterprise-class Storage Area Networks. The LP11000 HBA delivers exceptional performance through the use of the Emulex Helios Fibre Channel I/O controller. The high-performance Helios controller is a dual channel device that combines ARM11(tm) microprocessors and an advanced Fibre Channel protocol engine into a single module, which is ideal for embedded applications. The LP11000 HBA is designed for PCI-X 2.0 systems and uses a low-profile form factor that adapts to either standard height or low profile server slots.
PCI Express: The LightPulse(r) LPe11000 is a high performance 4Gb/s PCI Express host bus adapter solution. The LPe11000 balances the new bus architecture and efficiency of PCI Express with exceptional 4Gb/s Fibre Channel performance. With unsurpassed robustness, reliability and performance, the LPe11000 provides the optimum I/O connectivity solution for storage area networks (SANs).
Emulex 4Gb/s Embedded Storage Switches
The 3rd generation InSpeed SOC 422 is the industry's first 4Gb/s embedded storage switch that enables the next generation of storage systems using higher speeds and 2.5" Small Form Factor disk drives. The InSpeed SOC 422 delivers a new benchmark to maximize storage system performance and Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) benefits.
The most recent addition to the Emulex embedded switch portfolio is FibreSpy, a modular speed-agile 4Gb/s embedded switch that provides storage OEMs with unprecedented design flexibility, and enables the deployment of a new breed of industry-first storage applications.
The FibreSpy SOC 804 switch-on-a-chip is available with two distinct applications: the SuperScalar Tiered Storage (804S) and the Integrated SAN Switch (804E) solutions. The 804S solution enables thousands of Fibre Channel disk drives with various capabilities to be interconnected within a tiered storage array, providing unmatched scalability and cost optimization. The 804E solution enables SAN switching to be integrated into the front-end of storage systems and server blades, providing the most cost-effective SAN switching available. Both FibreSpy solutions integrate seamlessly with Emulex's award-winning InSpeed technology to deliver fully switched storage systems with the highest possible performance and RAS characteristics. Emulex has already secured its first design win for the FibreSpy SOC 804, and additional storage OEMs are currently evaluating FibreSpy technology.
