MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 13, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) --
WHAT: Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX), the world's leading provider of storage networking host bus adapters (HBAs), will showcase the company's HBA technology, including its recently announced LP10000Ex PCI-Express-enabled HBA in conjunction with Intel at the Intel Developer Forum, Oct. 13-14 at the Taipei International Convention Center in Taiwan. The Emulex LP10000Ex is designed for use with servers based on the PCI Express architecture, and is software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X systems, enabling OEMs and end users to migrate seamlessly to this new scalable, high performance system architecture. The Emulex LP10000Ex PCI Express HBA, which was announced at IDF Fall in San Jose, CA last month, is based on Emulex's latest generation Thor ASIC, which delivers measured performance in excess of 100,000 I/Os per second and 790 MB/s throughput across two ports. The LP10000Ex will leverage Emulex's recently introduced centralized HBA management suite, HBAnyware(tm), which enables discovery and complete management of HBAs within the SAN, reducing total cost of ownership and planned downtime while enabling sophisticated management capabilities such as remote firmware upgrades from a single console anywhere in a SAN. HBAnyware is driver-based technology that leverages Emulex's unique Service Level Interface (SLI), enabling full compatibility across the installed base of more than 1,000,000 HBAs and the new LP10000Ex. WHO: Emulex Corporation is a leading supplier and developer of storage networking host bus adapters based on both Fibre Channel and IP networking technologies. The Emulex product families are based on internally developed ASIC, firmware and software technologies, and offer customers high performance, scalability, flexibility and reduced total cost of ownership.
