Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability, and industry-leading virtualization support make the single-channel Emulex LightPulse
LPe12000 and dual-channel LPe12002 8Gb Fibre
Channel (8GFC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) ideal solutions for enterprise, mixed-OS and virtual server environments.
Proven Design, Architecture and Interface
Emulex LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated processor design minimizes onboard components to improve host performance and efficiency. Advanced error-checking features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the Storage Area Network (SAN).
Emulex’s firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance upgrades without costly hardware changes. The unique Service Level
Interface (SLI ™ ) allows use of a common driver across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given OS platform. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment. Emulex is trusted by data centers the world-over, with more than 11 million
HBA ports shipped and installed to date.
Powerful Management Software for
Maximum Data Center Efficiency
The Emulex OneCommand ® Manager enterprise class management application features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that provides centralized management of all Emulex
HBAs and Universal Converged Network Adapters
(UCNAs). This enables IT administrators to manage
Fibre Channel (FC), Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE), Internet Small Computer System Interface
(iSCSI) and Network Interface Card (NIC) adapters with one tool for maximum efficiency. The unique
OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter ™ enables adapters to be managed directly within the VMware environment, further simplifying the management process.
