Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability, and industryleading virtualization support make the single-port Emulex LightPulse LPe1250 Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) an ideal solution for mixed-OS SAN environments.
Proven Design, Architecture and Interface
Emulex LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated processor design minimizes onboard components to improve host performance and efficiency. Advanced errorchecking features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the 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 simplifying deployment and administration tasks. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment.
