Emulex Supports Oracle’s Linux Support Program

Emulex has plans to expand support for customers of the Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program across its LightPulse HBA product line.

Emulex and Oracle continue to provide drivers and other key solutions to the Linux upstream kernel and the open source community. Both companies will continue their coordination to provide security, data protection and connectivity solutions to the Linux developer and user communities, the companies said. Emulex HBAs provide connectivity to SANs and together with Oracle's Unbreakable Linux support, customers gain support for their Linux environments. Emulex products that are certified with Oracle Enterprise Linux, as part of Oracle's Unbreakable Linux support program, include 4Gb/s PCI-X and PCI Express HBAs, as well as previous generations of its 2Gb/s HBAs, the companies added.

Emulex is a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork and Emulex solutions are currently supported under the Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program. Emulex solutions are also part of the Oracle Validated Configurations Program, which offers best practices to users for deploying Linux solutions, the company stated.
