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
Adoption Trends

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
10GbE Shipments Rise as Prices Drop

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
