Description

LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated single chip design minimizes onboard components, while advanced error-checking and correcting 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 HBAnyware® for HBAs anywhere in the SAN
• Common driver model eases management and enables upgrades independent of HBA firmware

• Superior quality and reliability ensure data availability
• Highly efficient installation accelerates deployment and reduces administration costs
