EMULEX Lightpulse 16GB FibreChannel

OneCore Storage Software Development Kit (SDK)

Comprehensive, Extensible, Modular Framework and Architecture

Delivering accelerated, simplified and enhanced driver development tools for unrivaled storage networking performance

Emulex is a leader in Fibre Channel (FC) technology for the storage network market – the innovation and performance standard bearer for 10 generations of product development. With over 12 million ports shipped worldwide, our LightPulse technology is trusted to power the largest and most demanding data centers, delivering the performance and reliability that have become synonymous with Emulex.

With the Emulex OneCore Storage SDK, we’ve redesigned our driver and support system from the ground up in an effort to simplify and accelerate the process of developing storage solutions to meet the dynamic needs of the storage array, and storage appliance markets that require enterprise-class, high bandwidth and low latency I/O connectivity. The OneCore Storage driver architecture provides design flexibility, enabling selective use of component layers to meet customer-specific requirements and architectural needs. To aid in development efforts, we’ve created HTML-based driver development documentation, online training and support documents, and a community forum to collaborate with our engineering team.

The OneCore Storage SDK is a feature-rich driver development framework supporting SAN innovations such as N_Port Identification Virtualization (NPIV), which allows users to maintain SAN best practices within a virtualized environment, and T10 Protection Information (T10 PI), providing enhanced data protection against silent data corruption.
