LAS VEGAS, USA: At Cisco Live!, Cisco's annual IT and communications conference, Broadcom Corp. unveiled its fully interoperable FCoE offload solution on the world's fastest converged network adapter (CNA) platform with performance speeds of up to 1.7 million input/output operations per second (IOPs) – more than 80 percent faster than the nearest competitor.
Enterprise data centers demand 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) bandwidth and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity to support server virtualization, consolidation and convergence. Broadcom's FCoE-based converged network solutions allow IT professionals to unite data and storage networks on a common 10GbE fabric, while significantly reducing the cost of power, cooling and cabling.
Broadcom's fully qualified FCoE solution, as tested by EMC, reinforces the company's leadership and extensive range of storage and networking solutions by expanding multiprotocol support including Level 2 (L2) networking, Network Attached Storage (NAS), Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) offload, and now FCoE offload connectivity. Broadcom has also successfully completed extensive EMC E-Lab interoperability testing with EMC's full suite of storage arrays along with Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco Unified Computing System, Brocade 8000 switches, and Dell Blade servers.
In addition, Broadcom's FCoE solution received third-party validation from Demartek, an analyst organization specializing in the testing and analysis of network and storage solutions. Demartek's white paper published today, validates Broadcom's leading performance benchmark of 1.7M IOPs.
