  2. Summary of FCIA/T11 32GFC MRD v4 • Highlights of FCIA 32GFC MRD for T11 standard • Stay serial and single-lane; 28.05Gbaud (2x 16GFC) • T11.2 starts work on FC-PI-6 April‘10, stable by 1H 2012, release 2H 2012 • 70 to 100 meters on OM3 optics, 5 to 7 meters on copper • <=50% Watts/Port of 40GE and <=50% $/port of 40GE • T11.2 FC-PI-6 (and potential T11.3) to include FC-EE (Energy Efficient) • 2014 products • Leverage work from multitude of technologies • “Perfect Storm” flocking towards 25Gbaud range • Expect feasibility for FC core markets around 2014-2015 • Ethernet 100GE mandates a 25G/lane technology 2015 • IB will have 25G per lane option in 2014/2015 • Proposition similar to 2, 4, 8, and 16GFC propositions of past • - Natural path of least resistance migration from 8GFC and 16GFC for most of Fortune 1000 companies • - Highest bandwidth, lowest cost and power/performance storage IO on Earth • - Preserves 1,2,4,and 8GFC FC SAN investments with full backward compatibility and auto-negotiation • - 64GFC and 100GFCoE on roadmap following 32GFC and 40GFCoE

  3. FCIA 32GFC Elevator Statement and MRD v4 32GFC “Elevator” Statement Allow a 32GFC "capable" product, such as a switch or HBA, to be plugged into its current (at the time it is plugged) environment/infrastructure with zero changes, with no user intervention, and at a minimum price premium <35% over comparable product in the 2014 timeframe. 32GFC Fabric MRD (Market Requirements Document) • Backward compatibility to 8GFC and 16GFC is essential • Dual ENDECs for 8b/10b and 64b/66b (maintain as minimum as possible changes to basic physical components such as endec methodologies, and if changed maintain some ability for multi-function schema for components to act as a transition architecture to new methodologies) • FC-xx compliant (xx = GS3, PI-2, FS, FLA, PLDA, F and E port compatible to 8GFC and 16GFC) • 32GFC capable products can also run at 8GFC and 16GFC • Same external connectors as present connector • LC and SFP+ • Existing cable assemblies plug into 32GFC-capable products • Existing 16GFC and 8GFC SFP PMD modules should work with new 32GFC-capable cages • Cable lengths comparable to 16GFC and 8GFC options, but less than 100m ONLY if necessary to help keep power, cost, and schedule minimized, but NOT less than 70m • Priced at no more than a nominal premium over similar 16GFC devices and decreases over time similar to past FC speed migrations - Cost goal at the port is <= 50% of comparable 40GE port in 2014/15 timeframe • Power goal at the port is <= 50% of comparable 40GE port in 2014/15 timeframe • Auto-Negotiation down to 8GFC and 16GFC • 2014 products ship

  4. FCIA 32GFC MRD v4 (Continued) 32GFC Copper MRD (Market Requirements Document) • Backward compatibility to 16GFC and 8GFC is essential • Dual ENDECs for 8b/10b and 64b/66b (maintain as minimum as possible changes to basic physical components such as endec methodologies, and if changed maintain some ability for multi-function schema for components to act as a transition architecture to new methodologies) • FC-xx compliant (xx = GS3, PI-2, FS, FLA, PLDA, F and E port compatible to 16GFC and 8GFC) • 32GFC capable products can also run at 16GFC and 8GFC • Same external connector as present connector • SFP+ Interconnect • Existing SFP+ cable assemblies plug into 32GFC-capable products • Existing 8GFC and 16GFC SFP PMD modulesshould work with new 32GFC-capable cages • Cable lengths comparable to 8GFC and 16GFC options • Minimum 5 to 7 meter s length • Priced at no more than a nominal premium over similar 16GFC devices - Cost goal at the port is <= 50% of comparable 40GE port in 2014/15 timeframe • Power goal at the port is <= 50% of comparable 40GE port in 2014/15 timeframe • Auto-Negotiation down to 16GFC and 8GFC • 2014 products ship

  5. FCIA 32GFC MRD v4 (Continued) 32GFC Backplane MRD (Market Requirements Document) • Backward compatibility to 16GFC and 8GFC is essential • Dual ENDECs for 8b/10b and 64b/66b (maintain as minimum as possible changes to basic physical components such as endec methodologies, and if changed maintain some ability for multi-function schema for components to act as a transition architecture to new methodologies) • FC-xx compliant (xx = GS3, PI-2, FS, FLA, PLDA, F and E port compatible to 16GFC and 8GFC) • 32GFC capable products can also run at 16GFC and 8GFC • Trace lengths comparable to 16GFC options • With orthogonal connectors, the trace length should support 16” of PCB • Auto-Negotiation down to 16GFC and 8GFC • 2014 products ship
