COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan 22 — Emulex Corporation, a leader in network connectivity, monitoring and management, today announced the next generation of high performance Ethernet connectivity solutions for virtualized, enterprise and cloud data centers. The OneConnect OCe14000 family of 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet (10/40GbE) Network Adapters and Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), based on the next generation Emulex Engine (XE) 100 series of I/O controllers, enables higher virtual machine (VM) densities, supports secure hybrid clouds with Virtual Network Fabrics, leverages a new RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) based low latency architecture to deliver application acceleration, and provides an open application performance interface (API) that integrates with next generation software-defined networking (SDN) solutions.
“We have purpose-built these adapters on a highly extensible platform that can be optimized for the demands of enterprise, cloud and telco applications,” said Shaun Walsh, senior vice president of marketing and corporate development, Emulex. “We are providing a new way to optimize the deployment of new Web-scale applications, virtualized environments and software-defined infrastructures, with the ability to scale performance in three dimensions; higher bandwidth, reduced latency and increased I/O operations per second (IOPS), to address the explosive growth of IP traffic and global storage.”
The Emulex OCe14000 family is available now for ordering with shipments beginning this quarter for single- and dual-port 10GbE SFP+ models and single-port 40GbE QSFP+ models and pricing starts at $448 MSRP.
“The Emulex OCe14000 platform, with its convergence, network virtualization and low latency capabilities, works in conjunction with Arista Data Center networking switches to provide customers high speed 40GbE host connectivity with optimized capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) by simplifying cabling, consolidating servers and reduced power consumption,” said Ed Chapman, vice president of business development and alliances, Arista Networks. “Customers can use this combination to maximize the performance of their enterprise cloud data center applications, including high I/O services such as storage.”
