Convergence Value Proposition

Santa Clara, CA USAApril 2013

5

Single network for storage and networking

Reduces number of adapters and switches, and simplify cabling by consolidating on Ethernet Save 30% on adapters and switches,

80% on cables

Reduces OPEX with both power and management savings Save 40% on power and cooling Simplified deployment

2011: Less than 33% of respondents to InfoPro storage study indicated increased spending in FCoE

2012: 54% had converged platforms in use or planned to 52% were going to increase spending in 10GbE 44% planned to increase spending in CNAs

Why IO Is Strategic Survey Findings

Network I/O Is Strategic

Critical to Data Center Growth

Convergence Is Happening

Source: Emulex IT Survey

Bandwidth Will Grow to 100Gb

said their networks will

operate at 100Gbps by 2016

54%76%believe network I/O is the most critical

potential bottleneck in the data center

believe storage and data networks

will inevitably converge into a single unified

network

78%said growing demand for increased network bandwidth is one of

the most critical issues facing data

centers today
