LPe12000/LPe12002
®
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.
