THE DRIVE FOR CONVERGENCE
Traditional Data Centers: Why Separate Networks?
Different application requirements
Different operating environments
Different networking technologies
LAN
IP/Ethernet
8Gb FC
SAN
Data Network
Storage Network
Traditional Data Center:
Data Network
Data network operating environment (TCP/IP)
GbE
LAN
IP/Ethernet
Data Network

•
Legacy early Internet – low speed,
errors common
•
Email, File transfers, Web Browsing –
less delay sensitive
•
Congestion/Packet Loss/Retransmission
– normal operation
Traditional Data Centers:
Storage Network
Storage network operating environment (Fibre Channel):
•
Legacy: SCSI - host to peripheral
(disk) locally attached
•
SCSI assumes no packet loss –
recovery is an exception (failure)
•
8Gb FC
SAN
FC network provides access control to
avoid congestion, loss
Storage Network

Evolution of the Data Center:
Lossless Ethernet
Why lossless Ethernet?
•
IP/Ethernet is everywhere – deployment is
ubiquitous
•
Internet Protocol is the foundation for the
Internet and the World Wide Web
•
LAN, WAN, VoIP, IP Video, Mobile
•
The convergence of Voice and Data has
already happened
•
Economic advantages
•
Drives convergence to one infrastructure

Evolution of the Data Center:
Lossless Ethernet Operation

Drop non-lossless traffic
Determine which traffic
needs lossless service
When congestion in the network does
happen, drop the other traffic, not the
lossless service traffic
Eg. FCoE and iSCSI storage
Control
Reserve
Limit the amount of
‘lossless’ traffic on the
network
Specify bandwidth for
lossless service
Don’t overrun the reserved
bandwidth

Ensure that there is always some
bandwidth dedicated to lossless
service traffic

Data center simplification = Reduced TCO
11
•
Decreases the quantity of adapters, edge
switches, and cabling
•
Lowers power, cooling, and management
costs
•
Preservation of familiar data and storage
networking concepts eliminates future
training costs
60% Reduction in Networking
Infrastructure
Lower OpEx with up to 40% with a
reduction in power consumption due to
consolidation
The Proof is Clear

With
convergence,
cabling is cut in
half and cabling
management is
simplified
resulting in
overall reduced
OPEX!

Offloads FCoE & iSCSI processing to the CNA freeing up server CPU cycles
• Faster application performance than software FCoE or iSCSI initiators
Supports parallel NIC, FCoE, & iSCSI traffic with a single pane of glass
• Offers choice and flexibility in network connectivity options
Combined with an FCoE-capable switch, works seamlessly with
existing FC hardware and management utilities
• No forklift upgrade required!
Real World Results with Convergence
Company: A Global and diversified investment management
firm and solution provider serving consumers and businesses
• IT sprawl across the infrastructure
• Separate networks
• Inefficient use of servers and
storage made it difficult to securely
handle data.
• Implemented QLogic CNA
• Consolidated LAN and SANs
• Delivers
• Multiprotocol support
• Fine grain QoS with traffic
prioritization
• Eliminated excessive cabling and
resource issues
• Reduced costs and investment
protection
• Faster and more responsive
• Supports a scalable virtualized
infrastructure

CNA Hardware Offload
• Entire FC/FCoE protocol offloaded to CNA hardware
•
Significantly reduces server CPU utilization
•
Virtualization optimized – frees up CPU cycles to support more Virtual Machines
•
Performance optimized – frees up CPU cycles to service applications
• Alternative solutions rely on FCoE software initiators
19
•
No hardware offload – server CPU processes entire FC/FCoE protocol
•
Higher CPU utilization means fewer Virtual Machines and slower application
performance
•
Brand new – untested and unproven
Typical Deployment Scenarios
• Converge at the edge
– CNA
– FCoE “top of rack” switch
– Cisco Nexus 5010 & 5020
– Brocade 8000
– Sun ToR switch
– No “rip & replace”
• Converge into the core
– Expanded FCoE fabric
– Future Native FCoE storage
