OVERVIEW

SERVER CONNECTIVITY FOR NEXT-GENERATION DATA CENTERS

Today’s IT professionals face the difcult challenge of reducing data center

cost and complexity while satisfying numerous service-level agreements

(SLAs) and performance requirements. As a result, organizations are

seeking ways to improve server and storage usage, reduce ongoing

operational costs, and increase their exibility and responsiveness.

Two major industry trends aimed at reducing cost and complexity—

server consolidation and virtualization—have quickly become the highest

priorities for server administrators. Most data centers were designed

to meet basic connectivity needs for physical servers, switches, and

storage. However, consolidation and virtualization drive new connectivity

requirements that legacy solutions are no longer able to meet, such as

streamlined manageability, increased performance, and virtualization

awareness. Performance of the applications under load and manageability

are often critical concerns for organizations deploying server virtualization.

The BR-815 and BR-825 Fibre Channel adapters are a new class of server

connectivity products with unmatched hardware capabilities and unique

software features. This new class of adapters is designed to help IT

organizations deploy and manage end-to-end SAN services across next-

generation data centers.

CENTRALIZED ADAPTER MANAGEMENT

QLogic’s Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) is an easy-to-use adapter

management tool for conguring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the

QLogic BR-series adapters. HCM enables server administers to quickly

congure BR-series adapters locally or remotely.

HCM scans the SAN environment to discover visible storage resources

and display target LUNs. A simple to use graphical tree view provides fast

access to the managed Host Bus Adapters, Converged Network Adapters,

ports, and target storage resources. HCM also provides notications of

various conditions and problems through a user-dened event lter.

In addition to providing a graphical interface, QLogic also provides

a powerful command line interface (BCU CLI), for scripting and task

automation.

For holistic data center wide management, QLogic HCM is tightly

integrated with Brocade

Network Advisor (BNA)

to provide end-to-

end conguration and management of the entire SAN infrastructure.

Administrators can launch QLogic HCM from within BNA to provide single-

pane-of-glass management of QLogic BR-series adapters and Brocade

switches.
