Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO)
today announced the release of Emulex SAN Manager, lowering
enterprise operational cost and complexity. Emulex SAN Manager
enables server and storage administrators the ability to
troubleshoot and resolve network issues in their environment
through an easy to use interface. With Emulex SAN Manager,
administrators can now manage HBAs as pools of resources, improve
operational efficiency by integrating HBA management into new
datacenter management analytics, and gain visibility leading to
actionable insights.
“By using Emulex SAN Manager, storage administrators benefit
from a level of intelligence not found with other tools, helping to
make the concept of an end-to-end autonomous SAN a reality,”
said Jeff Hoogenboom, vice president and general manager,
Emulex Connectivity Division, Broadcom. “Emulex SAN Manager coupled
with Emulex HBAs and Brocade’s Fabric delivers a simplified SAN
that has the performance and availability benefits of Fibre Channel
without the complexity.”
Emulex SAN Manager provides storage administrators the ability
to monitor and manage HBAs attached to the Fabric and enables
Emulex HBAs and the Brocade Fabric to collaborate and address
performance issues through an adaptive real-time algorithm.
“Broadcom’s Gen 7 autonomous SAN technology will transform the way
storage networks are managed,” said Jack Rondoni, senior vice
president and general manager, Brocade Storage Networking division,
Broadcom. “The combination of Brocade and Emulex technology will
greatly simplify SAN management and enable unparalleled network
performance and reliability. With the recent launch of the
industry’s first end-to-end 64Gb/s portfolio, Broadcom continues to
innovate and develop market-leading products for the world's most
trusted network for storage.”
Identifies, Minimizes, and Mitigates Application
Performance ProblemsSAN congestion dashboards present
congestion and bandwidth graphs, enabling admins to quickly
quantify the health of their storage network. Adaptive congestion
mitigation via Emulex SAN Manager automatically addresses
congestion events, minimizing their impact on fabric
performance.
“IT organizations need to reduce the time, effort, and
specialized personnel devoted to problem resolution, so they can
focus on addressing business needs. The Emulex SAN Manager
application provides in-band HBA management, a SAN-wide view of all
hosts, and adaptive congestion management to address all these
issues,” said Tony Palmer, senior validation analyst, The
Enterprise Strategy Group. “Organizations looking to increase
availability, improve IT efficiency, and reduce the time required
to resolve complex issues should take a serious look at Emulex SAN
Manager.”
Lowers Operational Costs and Improves IT
Agility Emulex SAN Manager reduces storage administrative
time and costs by providing centralized in-band HBA administration
across the SAN. Administrators can easily access SAN-wide HBA
optical transceiver statistics, gaining insight into
transceiver health trends giving them the ability to proactively
respond before transceivers fail.
“Broadcom has been a key driver of the recent robust growth in
the Fibre Channel HBA market,” said Seamus Crehan, president
of Crehan Research. “This Emulex SAN Manager announcement is
another example of Broadcom’s ongoing investment in Fibre Channel
hardware and software technologies that deliver increased customer
value, by reducing network complexity, while simultaneously
increasing management capabilities.”
Simplifies SAN Management The Emulex SAN
Manager also provides centralized visibility, capturing complete
SAN HBA host inventory, host names, OS versions, software and
firmware versions, identifying misconfiguration errors through its
multi-path validation tool.
“In our 2020 IT Brand Leader Survey, IT pros selected
Emulex HBAs by Broadcom as the leader in all six categories of
brand leadership,” said Frank Berry, founder and senior analyst, IT
Brand Pulse. “Emulex HBAs were selected as the Innovation Leader
which indicates IT pros value Broadcom’s continued development of
advanced capabilities, such as Emulex SAN Manager, which unify
critical switch and HBA management functions.”
Easy to DeployEmulex SAN Manager is a
lightweight, agentless application that is easy to deploy, and can
run in a virtual machine or on a laptop. No Ethernet connection to
individual servers is required and no dedicated server is needed. A
scriptable interface enables integration into modern datacenter
tools.
