Block Data•Storage Area Networks use multiple block protocols

• FC• iSCSI (TCP/IP)• IB• FCoE• SAS

Block Data or File: What Protocols are Used

File Data•Networked Attached Storage uses LAN or WAN protocols i.e. TCP/IP over 10GbE or 1GbE•A NAS device can exist anywhere in a LAN or WAN. •Supported Protocols include CIFS, NFS and HTTP

The Market Selects FC

IDC’s Q2 2010 Worldwide Storage Systems Hardware Tracker

While there is a use for every interface, FC (choice C) is the leader for enterprise demanding applications

“We continue to see strength in the FC market," said Casey Quillin, Analyst at Dell'Oro Group.

FC SANs account for 55% of the overall storage system interface market.

Reasons for FC Leadership

FC Overview• High performance, robustness and addressability for

demanding environments• Low latency, high IOPs, and congestion free

• High addressability necessary for large customers

• Investment protection with auto-negotiating link speeds

Mature and time-proven designs dominates SANs

today in the enterprise market

FC SANs ensure higher security

Data integrity in the near future with T10-Dif

Outstanding I/Os (Increasing Workload)

Oracle OLTP Transactional Performance

Qlogic-Powered 8Gb FC AdapterVendor A

*Running on Microsoft® Windows® 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2. The tool used for predicting the performance of the Oracle database under-load was Orion from Oracle

Across all three workloads (OLTP, Web and OLAP), QLogic’s performance averaged 98 percent better than the competition.

•Ensures reduced response time of mission critical applications and backup time-windows

Full Hardware Offload for Improved System Performance

• The lowest CPU utilization in the industry

• Requires an average of 9% CPU utilization

• Competitors Choke CPU utilization up to 90%

• The ability to fully offload processing to the adapter improves server performance by freeing up the server CPU to other tasks
