SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Cavium, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor products that
enable intelligent processing for enterprise and cloud data
centers, announced that a broad portfolio of its next generation
QLogic Fibre Channel and Ethernet technologies are now available on
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Synergy Composable Infrastructure blade
server platform. HPE Synergy is the world's first platform
architected for Composable Infrastructure — built from the ground
up to bridge traditional and new IT with the agility, speed and
continuous delivery needed for today's applications.
Cavium QLogic is the leading I/O innovator with HPE on the HPE
Synergy platform and is the exclusive provider of 10GbE and 20GbE
I/O with the HPE Synergy 2820C and HPE Synergy 3820C Converged
Network Adapters (CNAs). QLogic technology also provides 16Gb Fibre
Channel connectivity for HPE Synergy customers with the HPE Synergy
3830C 16Gb FC Adapter. In addition, QLogic FastLinQ Ethernet
technology provides the internal networking within the HPE Synergy
frame with the QLogic 57840S ASIC LOM on the HPE Synergy Composer
modules, which delivers the necessary scalability and flexibility
required to build the composable infrastructure and provides iSCSI
SAN connectivity within the HPE Synergy frame.
Cavium QLogic I/O Technologies for HPE Synergy include:
- The HPE Synergy 2820C 10Gb Converged Network Adapter is
a key element in HPE Composable fabric connecting pools of compute
resources to networks with reliable, high-performing converged
10Gbps Ethernet connectivity. With Flex-10 Technology, it converges
Ethernet and FCoE onto a single connection simplifying hardware and
reducing costs. Concurrent with storage I/O functionality this
adapter also enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV)
capabilities for networking functions.
- The HPE Synergy 3820C 10/20Gb Converged Network Adapter
is another key element in HPE Composable fabric connecting pools of
compute resources to networks with reliable, high-performing
converged 10Gb or 20Gb Ethernet connectivity. With Flex-20
Technology, the Synergy 3820C converges Ethernet, iSCSI and FCoE
onto a single connection, simplifying hardware management and
reducing costs by up to 60% [1]. The Synergy 3820C is an
ideal choice for any virtualized or converged data center.
- Designed for the HPE Synergy Composable fabric, HPE Synergy
3830C 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter connects Synergy
compute resource pools to SANs over 16Gb native Fibre Channel (FC)
fabrics. It provides high-performance connectivity to HPE Synergy
Virtual Connect FC Modules and Brocade FC Switch Modules. The
Synergy 3830C supports advanced virtualization, security, port
isolation, dynamic power management and low CPU utilization
features. QLogic StorFusion technology built in the Synergy 3830C
integrates with Brocade Gen 5 16Gb FC fabrics enabling rapid
deployment and orchestration, advanced diagnostic and improved
reliability and resiliency for HPE Synergy frames connecting to
shared SAN storage. Doubling[2] the I/O performance of
8Gb FC HBAs, the Synergy 3830C is ideal for FC storage intensive
workloads.
- Cavium QLogic 57840S ASIC LOM on the HPE Synergy
Composer modules which utilizes the QLogic NIC partitioning (NPAR)
technology to virtualize the physical connections within the HPE
Synergy Composer which in turn delivers the necessary scalability
and flexibility required to build the composable
infrastructure.
The expanded suite of Fibre Channel and Ethernet-based adapters
for HPE Synergy are available and shipping today. For more
