Panduit Corp., a global leader in Unified Physical InfrastructureSM
(UPI)-based solutions, is proud to be an exhibitor at this year's EMC
World in Las Vegas, NV May 21-24. At the event Panduit will showcase how
they help organizations become more agile and responsive to customer
needs by implementing data center architectures that are optimized for
both the logical and physical elements of the network.
At EMC World Booth #627, Panduit will display the longest distance Fibre
Channel transmission of its kind - 16 gigabit Fibre Channel over 1
kilometer. This demonstration will feature QLogic's new 16 gigabit Fibre
Channel FlexSuite™ Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) linked to a SANBlaze
VirtuaLUN™ Target Emulator with Panduit® Signature Core™
multimode fiber cabling and connectivity.
"QLogic is excited to be a part of this demonstration with Panduit at
EMC World with our new FlexSuite™ adapters," said Joe Kimpler, Director,
Technical Alliances, QLogic. "The Signature Core™ optical fiber Panduit
has developed is extending the reach, and therefore the lifespan of
multimode fiber for high-speed applications such as 16 gigabit Fibre
Channel."
"Utilizing SANBlaze 16 gigabit Fibre Channel target emulation with
QLogic HBAs and Panduit Signature Core™ solutions in the EMC World setup
allows customers to see the components in the demonstration perform in
an optimum high-performance architecture," said Mitul Patel, SANBlaze
Product Manager.
The Signature Core™ Fiber Optic Cabling System maintains signal
integrity beyond that of all other types of multimode fiber. This
technology provides network architects with the flexibility to deploy
less expensive multimode fiber links versus more expensive singlemode
links - a savings upwards of $1,000 per link. The enhanced performance
of Signature Core™ multimode fiber enables extended reach, additional
connections, and the highest reliability.
"As data centers evolve to support more service oriented, public and
private cloud models, our customers are investing in virtualization
technology and fabric-based computing. Signature Core™ multimode fiber
helps provide the flexibility needed to maximize return on these
investments," said Andrew Caveney, Vice President of Global Marketing at
Panduit. "Signature Core™ technology is the result of years of research
and development in collaboration with our partners. QLogic and SANBlaze
are a perfect match for this demonstration, which sets a new distance
benchmark for 16 gigabit Fibre Channel traffic."
Panduit provides the broadest line of fiber optic and copper cabling
systems in the industry. Designed for high-density/high-speed
applications, Panduit High Speed Data Transport solutions help ensure
