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
Consolidate heavy server I/O demands
For FC host connectivity, Oracle FC Networking Powered by QLogic the leading
choice…

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
