What is The News Today?

The Emulex Connect Architecture defines the next generation of I/O engines, solutions, services and management for the cloud and virtual data centers

Emulex is the first company to sample CFA (Converged Fabric Adapter) technology to OEMs that combines FC and network convergence on a single platform

Emulex is the only company with converged multi-fabric technology capable of 8/16FC, 10/40GbE and concurrent FC & Ethernet running simultaneously on the same card

Emulex is providing an evolutionary, pay-as-you-go model for discrete, converged multi-fabric and converged networks

Emulex will publically demonstrate the first 16Gb FC HBA, 10G Base-T UCNA and 40GbE UCNA at EMC World and Interop on May 9th
