05/29/2008		"Virtual connectivity for virtual servers - why and how?"
9:00 AM		Presented by: Emulex Corporation Sponsored by: VMWare, Inc. and Central Ohio VMWare Users Group Server virtualization is rapidly gaining market acceptance for server consolidation and provisioning. Please join Emulex Corporation, as Jean-Yves Chevallier - Director of Software Marketing - leads us down the path of Virtual connectivity and virtual servers. The introduction of Emulex LightPulse(r) Virtual HBA technology, implementing standards-based N-Port ID virtualization, allows users to combine and leverage virtual servers and storage networks into flexible, secure and reliable solutions. In addition, exclusive assignment of buffer resources to priority virtual machines, through their "port", provides added granularity to fulfill SLAs. Finally, the ability to "tear down" a virtual port and reinitiate it on a different server greatly enhances virtual machine portability for load balancing, portability and incident recovery. In short, N-port ID virtualization enhances SAN connectivity, flexibility, resource allocation and recovery. There is no charge for this event.
