services
The OCe14000 family of 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet network adapters is designed for
the high bandwidth and scalability demands of enterprise applications, more scalable
virtualization with support for enhanced Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and
NIC port partitioning, and next-generation Virtual Network Fabric (VNF) networking
technologies that address the requirements virtual machine (VM) mobility and massive
scaling of Layer 2 subnets inside private or hybrid cloud infrastructures.

Scaling existing technologies for private or public multi-tenant infrastructures requires
networking solutions that can enable VM-to-VM communication and virtual workload
migration across Layer2 and Layer 3 boundaries without impacting connectivity or
performance.
networking solutions that can enable VM-to-VM communication and virtual workload
migration across Layer2 and Layer 3 boundaries without impacting connectivity or
performance.
At the same time, these solutions need to ensure isolation and security for thousands
or millions of tenant networks. However, with existing technology, the available 4094
VLAN IDs are insufficient to isolate/secure each tenant in a data center (private cloud) or
hybrid cloud environment.

VMware’s Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) and Microsoft’s Network
Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE) are next-generation VNF
overlay networking solutions that address these requirements. VNF solutions are a
MAC-in-IP data packet encapsulation scheme enabling the creation of virtualized Layer
2 subnets that can span physical L3 IP networks. Traffic from each VM is mapped to a
specific virtual network; the packets are then routed transparently over the existing
physical infrastructure.

Emulex VNeX offload technology powered by a multi-core adapter ASIC engine
accelerates the performance of network virtualization by offloading the header
encapsulation process, while simultaneously preserving legacy stateless TCP offloads,
providing full native network performance in a virtual network environment.
