Company Proprietary End-2-End Server Consolidation Enabled by server virtualization and SANs Applications A Servers DataStorage Center Fabric Network Storage A A A A • Physical servers are consolidated, but a higher percentage of virtual servers connect to the shared storage network • Applications will move across virtual servers and the infrastructure, no longer attached to physical ports —the data center fabric must support this • More connected elements drive new network and infrastructure requirements • VM-aware end-to-end management (server-to-storage) becomes critically important 11 © Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.

Company Systems, Proprietary. © Brocade Communications Inc. All rights reserved. Company Proprietary Solution - N-Port ID Virtualisation (NPIV) NPIV is a Fibre Channel facility allowing multiple IDs to share a single physical N_Port. This allows multiple Fibre Channel initiators to occupy a single physical port. ANSI T11 standard, developed for the IBM mainframe. This virtual HBA, or VPORT, appears to the FC fabric as a physical HBA. Without NPIV NPIV enabled 16 © Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All2009 rights reserved. Company Systems, Proprietary. © Brocade Communications Inc. All rights reserved. Company Proprietary Issue 2: Solve the Bandwidth Issue Any congestion on the link/fabric path affects all traffic flow from the HBA through the fabric Problem is worse in virtual server environments Congestion Virtualization Later VM_1 – The more VMs the greater the potential for congestion at the host & fabric level Device Latencies T1 VM_3 VM_2 NPIV-1 NPIV-2 HBA SWITCH ISL SWITCH T2 NPIV-3 T3 17 © Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All2009 rights reserved. Company Systems, Proprietary. © Brocade Communications Inc. All rights reserved. Company Proprietary Solution – QoS at the Host & Fabric Levels Each VM can be linked to NPIV ports Each VPORT can be linked to a QoS priority level – High, Medium (default) or Low Each priority level is linked to the fabric QoS priority levels for the complete solution – This will prioritize and isolate data flow from host through the fabric QoS Priorities – Host Level QoS Priorities – Fabric Level T1 NPIV-1 NPIV-2 VC HBA VC SAN T2 VC NPIV-3 T3 18 © Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.

Company Proprietary NPIV integration into vStorage Without With NPIV NPIV Benefits • NPIV gives Storage admin visibility to VM • Set QoS to VM • WWN stays with VM when vmotioned • Storage Polices kept with VM during migration Legend High Priority QoS Medium Priority QoS Low Priority QoS 19 © Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. All2009 rights reserved. Company Systems, Proprietary. © Brocade Communications Inc. All rights reserved. Company Proprietary Optimizing Server Virtualization Mobility, a key attribute in the virtualized data center Brocade enables transparent VM mobility across the SAN • Security and QoS attributes are attached to the “Vport” and are carried over when the VM is moved across physical servers HBA HBA DCX • Each VM gets its own virtual connection to its storage LUNs through a dedicated “Vport” • Brocade is a key enabler of VM mobility with end to end NPiV management from host to storage. 20 © Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
