Emulex OCE11102-IX Leaflet
C o n n e C t i v i t y
The Emulex OCe11102-I is a single-chip, high-
performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter that
consolidates traffic for networking and iSCSI
storage. A member of the Emulex OneConnect
Universal Converged Network Adapter (UCNA)
family, the OCe11102-I iSCSI adapter supports
CPU offload for both network and storage I/O to
optimize server performance and maximize server
virtualization ratios.

Optimized Network and Storage Connectivity
10 Gigabit Ethernet
Traditional iSCSI solutions based on 1 Gigabit
Ethernet have limited bandwidth that can be
inadequate for virtualized servers and I/O intensive
applications. The solution is 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE) that provides the bandwidth needed
for an enterprise-class iSCSI deployment. iSCSI
storage providers are shipping 10GbE iSCSI
storage arrays that enable an end-to-end high-
performance solution.
iSCSI offload
The OCe11102-I iSCSI adapter presents a Network
Interface Card (NIC) and an iSCSI adapter to the
operating system or hypervisor. The OCe11102-I
adapter supports full iSCSI protocol offload,
providing performance that is superior to a NIC and
iSCSI software initiator.
Enterprise iSCSI
The OneConnect Enterprise iSCSI solution includes
support for IEEE Data Center Bridging (DCB)
standards for optimum performance. Priority Flow
Control (PFC) is used to insure a consistent stream
of data between servers and storage arrays. Quality
of Service (QoS) and Enhanced Transmission
Selection (ETS) support protocol priorities and
allocation of bandwidth for iSCSI and IP traffic.
Universal Multi-Channel
OneConnect Universal Multi-Channel (UMC) allows
multiple PCI functions to be created on each
adapter port. With the OCe11102-I adapter, each
port can present one iSCSI function and three NIC
functions to the operating system or hypervisor.
