Emulex – Extreme Performance 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs
We have reached the apex of a new performance paradigm. Pressures to consolidate are being actualised through virtualisation.New Intel Xeon 5500-based servers complemented by 8Gb/s Fibre Channel are enabling more VMs per box.
Emulex® LightPulse® LPe12000 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs are the ideal complement to these next generation servers for I/O intensive applications and virtualised server environments. With an advanced ASIC design and state of the art software, Emulex 8Gb/s HBAs:
- Maximise I/O performance
- Improve system efficiency
- Optimise I/O connectivity for virtualisation
- Accelerate return on investment (ROI)
The Coolest HBA with the Greatest Reliability
Emulex provides the most reliable Fibre Channel HBAs in the industry. The Emulex family of 2Gb/s and 4Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs provide the greatest reliability, averaging more than 10 million hours of field mean time between failures (MTBF). 30% greater than the nearest competitor.
Emulex’s LPe12002 I/O controller operates 20° C temperature cooler than competitors.
This translates into 166% greater 8Gb/s reliability, resulting in more up-time.
Less Administration Time and More Fun Time
Emulex makes the transition to 8Gb/s Fibre Channel easy.
- Emulex Common driver model ensures that the same Emulex drivers support 8Gb/s, 4Gb/s and 2Gb/s HBAs.
- Emulex HBAnyware® centralised HBA management application, provides control of all Emulex-connected servers. With extensive configuration, automation and diagnostic capabilities reducing administrative-time and increasing fun-time.
Interoperability to the Max
Emulex LightPulse 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs are supported by Microsoft Windows, VMware ESX, Linux, Sun Solaris, HP’s HP-UX, and all major Linux distributions.
Emulex 8Gb/s are available in blade and standard form-factors and are available from Dell, HP, IBM, Sun and many other leading server vendors.
For companies looking to create a balanced system that keeps their business running at the highest levels, it’s time for Emulex LightPulse LPe12000 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs.
