xisting Fibre Channel 10GB HBA business

These dual-port, PCI-Express 2.0 x8 products are available immediately through distributors worldwide, and are expected to be available through major server and storage vendors in the future. The UCNAs have been qualified to run with Microsoft and Linux operating systems, and other environments are expected to be officially supported soon.With the UCNAs, Emulex is taking a different approach than it has in the Fibre Channel 10GB HBA marketplace. By offering three different adapters from the same product family, Emulex hopes to address three different markets, all currently at different places in the product maturity cycle. For those looking for 10GB HBA adapters with full TCP/IP offload, Emulex offers an adapter at lower cost than their other UCNAs. In addition, I believe that Emulex has correctly identified two additional separate markets, that at least for the short term, will remain separate, 10Gb iSCSI and 10GB HBA. For those who use Fibre Channel and are looking at converged networks, the 10GB HBA version of the adapter makes sense.
