  1. CON6541Faster, More Flexible I/O Connectivity for Oracle Servers Jean-Yves Chevallier Senior Product Manager Emulex Corporation

  2. Agenda • What We’re Fighting For • The Rise of Generation 5 • Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar

  3. What We’re Fighting ForOracle-Emulex: A Decade of Cooperation • Emulex: Solaris FC since 2000 • Oracle co-operation since 2004 • Joint development, integrated testing • Emulex drivers are built into Solaris: • FC initiator Solaris 8 • FCoE initiator, NIC Solaris 10 • FC/FCoE COMSTAR target Solaris 11 • Built-in support for FMA, SunVTS, MPxIO support, cluster support, ZFS… • Refreshes in Solaris updates, SRU • Oracle-branded devices • 2/4/8GFC standup cards • Express Modules • And now, Sun Storage Universal HBA

  4. What We’re Fighting For Excellence in Enterprise Computing • Emulex • Massively scalable servers (T5, M5) • Engineered systems • Unique OS services such as ZFS • The engine for online transactions & big data • Mission-critical implementations in the world’s top data centers • Leadership in connectivity • World-beating performance • The best uptime in the profession • Over 90% of Fortune 1000 data centers • Gen 5 Fibre Channel

  5. The Rise of Generation 5What is Gen 5 Fibre Channel? • Speed-based naming changed to generational-based naming • Includes new protocol services & features, not just bandwidth improvement • Emulex Gen 5 includes adapters running multiple speeds • 16GFC/8GFC/4GFC • Maintains backward compatibility to previous FC generations 1Gb Fibre Channel 2Gb Fibre Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel 8Gb Fibre Channel Gen 5 Fibre Channel Gen 6 Fibre Channel 16Gb 32Gb Gen 1 Gen 2 Gen 3 Gen 4 • Advanced features • Multi-speed • 16GFC/8GFC/4GFC Gen 5 = Advanced Features Plus Multi-protocolAdapters Running Multiple Speeds

  6. The Rise of Generation 5 From Storage Capacity to App Performance $/GB $/IOPS Focused on Storage Capacity Virtualization/Cloud/Web Need Application Performance &Quality of Service Disk & Traditional Fabric Flash Tiers & Optimized Fabric • Traditional disk arrays and fabrics have helped solve storage capacity problem • Low-footprint snapshots • Automatic de-duplication of redundant data • High-performance dual-parity RAID systems • Data cloning techniques • Application performance/SLAs are now the focus • Flash tiers + new Intel servers means fabric I/O is now the bottleneck • Shared/distributed storage use cases like vMotion, HA/DR, & clustered apps require fabric optimization • Requires faster data access- operational latency and IOPS for app response time • Mixed virtualization/cloud workloads and mission-critical apps demand QoS, latency,data integrity

  7. Emulex Gen 5 LPe16000-Series Accelerates Application Performance vs. LPe12000-series 8GFC Up to Up to 41% 33% Faster workload completion for Microsoft SQLServer More Transactions per Second for Microsoft SQLServer (100-400 users) Database Applications Data Warehousing Workload Virtualization / Cloud Exchange Workload Up to Up to 3x 75% Better throughput for VMware ESXi IOPS for Exchange-like workload Up to

  8. The Rise of Generation 5 Reliability and Data Integrity 90% 1000 Of Fortune 1000 companies rely on FC connectivity Years of continuousoperation Enterprise-proven Exceed SLAs Ultimate Data Integrity Architected for Long Term Durability Up to 10x No silent data corruption, no-overhead offload T10 PI Higher MTBF than fan-cooledGen 5 HBAs

  9. The Rise of Generation 5 Simplify for Success 50% 4x Fewer ports, fewer cables Higher IOPSper watt Consolidation Power Efficiency Superior SAN Diagnostics Streamlined Management Less time to install and manage.No re-boot upgrades 50% 100% Confidence with comprehensive troubleshooting and SAN optimization

  10. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar What is “Ganymede-E”? Ganymede-E = “Sun Storage Dual 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIeUniversal HBA, Emulex” = Oracle’s first Gen 5 Adapter = 16Gb Fibre Channel or 10Gb Ethernet = Performance + Flexibility

  11. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar The Heart of Ganymede-E: Anatomy of a Champion PCIe Gen 3x8: Faster host connect • XE201 ASIC Eight-core high speed processor: Offloads (checksums, T10 PI), Low latency protocol processing • The XE201 I/O controller is capable of Fibre Channel and Ethernet • Design wins with all major server vendors, worldwide • Market leader for the 16GFC and Gen 5 transition 2x16 or 2x10 Network connect

  12. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar Ganymede-E – Serving your network • One device, two networks: • HBA: 2x16 Gb Fibre Channel • CNA: 2x10 Gb Ethernet (NIC + FCoE offload + iSCSI capable) • The only difference is in the optics • Cannot mix and match one port of FC and the other of Ethernet • Auto-configuration: • Optics recognized at power-up • Optic type drives device to advertise itself as FC HBA or Ethernet CNA • FC HBA auto-negotiates Fibre Channel speed (16, 8 or 4 Gbits/sec) • Driver attaches to inbox drivers and stack • Emulex driver and Solaris Leadville stack for FC/FCoE storage • OCe driver and Solaris GLD stack for NIC • Evolve with your infrastructure: • Take out adapter and install alternate optics kit • Re-insert and power up slot • Your adapter is ready to connect to your new infrastructure

  13. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar Advanced Capabilities VIRTUALIZATION SUPPORT • Fibre Channel NPIV • SR-IOV (enabled for NIC) Integrity support • T10 Protection Information (T10 PI) on Oracle Linux • Full offload Appliance-ready • Support for FC/FCoE target • Each port individually set to initiator or target • Dynamic initiator-target toggle • Ideal for storage appliances (e.g., Solaris ZFS-based)

  14. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar Solaris Device Configuration • Storage Driver Properties emlxs.conf NIC Driver Properties • oce.conf • FC fabric settings: topology, link speed, etc. • I/O access settings; queues, interrupts, buffers…. • Console message and log file settings • Advanced features: • NPIV • Target mode (individual ports set to initiator or target) • Default MTU, flow control, send and receive queue count… • FMA reporting • Log verbosity • Interface configuration via dladm utility (physical and virtual NIC)

  15. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar Enterprise Manageability • Solaris Management • Service Management Facility: Predictive self-healing • Dtrace: Solaris real-time instrumentation/trouble-shooting • Adapter farm, data center connectivity monitoring • OneCommand Manager • Monitors, configures, reports • Any Emulex device (Oracle or Emulex branded, FC HBA, NIC or CAN provided by Emulex) Also monitors virtual devices • “Enterprise” GUI and “core” CLI versions • Solaris, Windows, Linux, ESX • Local and remote monitoring • Free download from Emulex.com

  16. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar Performance • Ganymede-E provides outstanding storage performance: • .. and great 10GbE NIC performance: • All numbers measured on Solaris 11 with SPARC T4-1

  17. Ganymede-E: Raising the Bar Ordering Information

  18. Conclusion • Oracle is reaching new heights in enterprise scalability • Oracle server users need this power to run their business • Emulex Gen 5 provides the pipes delivering this power: • Top-performing, market-leading 16 Gb Fibre Channel • 10Gb Ethernet (NIC and FCoE) • Adaptability: FC and Ethernet, Initiator and target Oracle Ganymede-E: the new benchmark in enterprise connectivity
