HP DISCOVER - Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), the leader in converged networking solutions, today announced it has been awarded the HP AllianceONE Partner of the Year awards in the Converged Infrastructure Ecosystem - Network category. This award recognizes Emulex's portfolio of OneConnectTM Universal Converged Network Adapters (UCNAs), which include 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) Adapters, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) and FlexFabric Adapters for HP Converged Infrastructure.
"We are honored to be recognized by HP for being a fundamental technology enabler and driving market share leadership for 10GbE, LAN on Motherboard (LOM), iSCSI and FCoE with Emulex FlexFabric Adapters for HP Converged Infrastructure," said Shaun Walsh, vice president of marketing, Emulex. "Emulex's OneConnect UCNA technology provides the hard cost savings, simplicity of deployment and infrastructure agility required in next-generation data centers."
"To manage the changing demands of their customers, organizations have to accelerate time to market and time to business value," said Duncan Campbell, vice president, Converged Infrastructure, HP. "HP, with partners like Emulex, helps break down rigid IT silos with infrastructure specifically engineered to drive out cost and provide the foundation for agile service delivery."
Emulex OneConnect UCNA technology provides excellent 10GbE throughput and latency and the ability to efficiently consolidate network and storage infrastructures without changing management domains. As part of the Emulex vEngine(TM) technology, hardware offload and acceleration reduces server overhead and increases the number of virtual machines that can run on virtualized servers. Emulex OneConnect UCNAs support multiple protocol offloads for TCP/IP, FCoE and iSCSI and deliver maximum performance, regardless of the mix of network traffic.
The HP AllianceONE Partner of the Year awards recognize a select set of HP alliance partners for outstanding accomplishments in the development and delivery of innovative solutions that meet business excellence and client satisfaction. The awards also recognize achievements across a broad range of solution areas in support of the HP Converged Infrastructure.
