2. Networking Infrastructures File File Block Block File LANIP/Ethernet 8Gb FC SAN Block LAN SAN Block Block File Block File Data Network Storage Network

3. Block Data or File: What Protocols are Used • File Data • Networked Attached Storage uses LAN or WAN protocols i.e. TCP/IP over 10GbE or 1GbE • A NAS device can exist anywhere in a LAN or WAN. • Supported Protocols include CIFS, NFS and HTTP • Block Data • Storage Area Networks use multiple block protocols • FC • iSCSI (TCP/IP) • IB • FCoE • SAS

4. The Market Selects FC While there is a use for every interface, FC (choice C) is the leader for enterprise demanding applications FC SANs account for 55% of the overall storage system interface market. “We continue to see strength in the FC market," said Casey Quillin, Analyst at Dell'Oro Group. IDC’s Q2 2010 Worldwide Storage Systems Hardware Tracker

5. Reasons for FC Leadership • Mature and time-proven designs dominates SANs today in the enterprise market • FC Overview • High performance, robustness and addressability for demanding environments • Low latency, high IOPs, and congestion free • High addressability necessary for large customers • Investment protection with auto-negotiating link speeds • FC SANs ensure higher security • Data integrity in the near future with T10-Dif • Consolidate heavy server I/O demands For FC host connectivity, Oracle FC Networking Powered by QLogic the leading choice…
