CISCO Card/Emulex LPe 12002 8Gb Dual Fibre HBA

LightPulse LPe12002-F-C

8Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI Express
Dual Channel Host Bus Adapter

The high-performance LightPulse LPe12002 is a dual-channel 8Gb/s Fibre Channel adapter designed for Cisco UCS C-Series rack mount servers. This 10th generation adapter delivers rock solid reliability with unsurpassed field-proven MTBF for the lowest downtime in the industry. With its advanced OneCommand Manager application that Integrates with Cisco's UCS Manager, managing LPe12002 adapters couldn't be easier! OneCommand Manager features streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability and industry-leading virtualization support that gives administrators twice the functionality and takes half the time to manage and install compared to other manufacturers HBAs. The LightPulse LPe12002 is an ideal solution for enterprise, mixed-operating system (OS) and virtual server environments.

Emulex LightPulse HBAs' highly integrated processor design minimized 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.
