NVGRE Optimized VNeX™ Network Virtualization
Offload Technology Performance Optimizations
NVGRE optimized offloads increase
network throughput by 130%
– These are early test results
– CPU utilization is critical

Emulex has announced planned
support for VNeX™ Network
Virtualization Offload Technology
optimized to improve the
performance of NVGRE
Benefits
– Improved VM density
– Better network throughput
– Lower CPU utilization for NVGRE
Note:
– Results are illustrative and based on
early engineering testing and will vary
based on VM density, CPU utilization,
and other configuration parameters.
© 2013 Emulex Corporation
Throughput normalized to 10Gb/s
to demonstrate the performance
impact of no NIC offloads.
CPU utilization is an important
parameter impacting network
throughput.
