SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced that its QLogic®
line of Enhanced 32GFC PCIe® Gen 4 HBAs are now available from
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for their ProLiant and Apollo Gen
10 servers. HPE Gen 10 servers with Marvell's newest 32GFC HBAs are
capable of achieving 50% more in terms of transactional performance
than previous generations, enabling enterprise class databases to
now scale to exceed the most demanding data center workloads.
Leveraging 16 consecutive years of Fibre Channel technology
leadership, the HPE 32Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapters accelerate
business-critical application access to NVMe™ storage, while
delivering industry-leading security and operational efficiency.
The introduction of the Marvell® QLogic Enhanced 32GFC HBAs into
HPE's broad portfolio of Gen 10 servers, including select HPE
ProLiant DL, ML and HPE Apollo platforms, provides customers with
an innovative solution delivering concurrent FCP and FC-NVMe
access. In addition, firmware integrity protection with hardware
root of trust coupled with business productivity innovations
deliver a secure and future-proof storage connectivity
solution. Designed to offload and accelerate FC-NVMe, the HPE
32GFC HBAs further reduce latency compared to previous generations,
enabling customers to gain more from their flash-accelerated
private and hybrid cloud data center.
"The increase in adoption and performance of NVMe, coupled with
the latest Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC processor families are driving
digital transformation, the success of which relies on a robust and
high-performance storage network," said Seamus Crehan, president of Crehan Research.
"The new Marvell QLogic Enhanced 32GFC HBAs deliver performance and
scalability to meet the storage networking demands of next-gen
applications while also providing a secure and future-proof
solution."
"Marvell's market leadership has been driven by strong brand
preference, a large installed base of customers and a long track
record of product innovation over successive Fibre Channel
generations," said Vikram Karvat,
vice president and general manager, Server Connectivity Business
Unit at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "Designed as the connectivity
of choice to NVMe, the 32GFC HBAs enable HPE customers to eliminate
performance bottlenecks, drive business efficiency and protect
their investments with a secure and future-proof solution."
"Intelligent storage networking is a critical component for an
agile application and delivering a secure environment for a hybrid
and distributed infrastructure," said Marty Lans, general manager,
Storage Technologies and Connectivity, HPE Storage & Big Data.
"One of our key goals in collaborating with Marvell on their QLogic
FC HBA technology was to enhance the performance and security of
HPE ProLiant and HPE Apollo Gen10 servers."
Delivering its most advanced ever 32GFC HBAs, Marvell continues
its role as the technology leader in Fibre Channel adapters. These
solutions are designed to exceed the performance, scalability, and
manageability requirements in virtualized and mission critical
environments, NVMe accelerated storage platforms and new SAN
architectures. With over 20 million ports shipped, more enterprise
data centers have chosen to entrust their storage fabric
interconnect to Marvell QLogic Fibre Channel technology than any
other solution. Accordingly, Marvell QLogic represents the
industry's most accepted and deployed FC HBA solution provider for
16 consecutive years and counting.
