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 = Improved System Performance

• The lowest CPU utilization in the industry

• Requires an average of 9% CPU utilization

• Competitors Choke CPU utilization up to 90%

• Improves server performance by freeing up the server CPU to other tasks

FCoE CNAs Customer Advantages

18 02/10/10

Data center simplification = Reduced TCO

• Decreases the quantity of adapters, edge switches, and cabling

• Lowers power, cooling, and management costs.

• Preservation of familiar data and storage networking concepts eliminates future training costs

60% Reduction in Networking Infrastructure

Lower OpEx with up to 40% with a reduction in power consumption due to consolidation

The Proof is Clear

With convergence, cabling is cut in half and cabling management is simplified resulting in overall reduced OPEX!
