Unparalleled manageability, reliability, performance and ease of deployment

Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability, and industry-leading virtualization support make the dual-channel LP11002 an ideal solution for enterprise and mixed-OS SAN environments. With powerful management tools and broad platform support, they deliver maximum performance in the broadest range of applications and environments.

Proven design, architecture and interface

LightPulse HBAs® highly integrated single chip design minimizes onboard components, while advanced error-checking methods assure robust data integrity. The Emulex 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. Installation and management applications are designed to minimize reboots and further simplify deployment.

Key features

• Exceptional performance and full-duplex data throughput
• Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
• Simplified installation and configuration using common HBA drivers and AutoPilot Installer®
• Efficient administration via Emulex OneCommand™ Manager for HBAs anywhere in the SAN
• Common driver model eases management and enables upgrades independent of HBA firmware

Key benefits

• Superior quality and reliability ensure data availability
• Highly efficient installation accelerates deployment and reduces administrationcosts
• Maximum SAN performance increases scalability and user satisfaction in large enterprise installations
• Robust interoperability simplifies deployment and upgrades of SAN hardware and software
• LightPulse Virtual HBA technology provides efficient host utilization and compliance with SAN management best practices
• Advanced security protects the SAN from potential threats such as WWN spoofing, host masquerading, rogue/compromised servers and administrator errors

Additional features

• Emulex LightPulse technology features Frame-level Multiplexing and out-of-order frame reassembly for maximum link utilization.
• End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC, ECC and other advanced error checking and correcting ensure that data is safe from corruption.
• Detailed real-time event logging and tracing enables quick diagnosis of SAN problems.
• Universal Boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any given OS.
• Strong authentication between host and fabric is based on full Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) Diffie-Helmann Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (DH-CHAP) compliance.
