Features and Benefits
The LightPulse LPe11000 family is a high performance 4Gb/s PCI Express
x4 host bus adapter solution. The LPe11000 balances the advanced bus
speeds and efficiency of PCI Express with exceptional 4Gb/s Fiber
Channel performance. With unsurpassed robustness, reliability and
performance, the LPe11000 provides the optimum I/O connectivity
solution for a wide spectrum of server, storage and system area
networks (SANs).
As the successor to the enduring PCI interface,
PCI Express is a new, much - anticipated bus architecture. As a host
serial bus, PCI Express eliminates many of the inefficiencies of
parallel PCI and PCI-X architectures. With lower pin counts and lower
power consumption requirements, PCI Express host bus adapters also
reduce system level power requirements. Most importantly though, PCI
Express is backward compatible with PCI and PCI-X addressing, which
allows all existing applications and Operating Systems to function
unchanged.
Ideal for large or mixed - OS SAN environments, the
LPe11000 HBA family uses the same drivers and management tools as the
LP11000 and LP10000/1050 HBAs for PCI, PCI-X, and PCI Express systems.
Emulex's unique Service Level Interface (SLI) driver architecture,
which enables the independence of the operating systems device driver
from the underlying HBA platform, will allow OEMs and end users to
migrate to this new system architecture seamlessly (without having to
change or rewrite driver utilities and other management tools).
Emulex's firmware - based architecture, which allows for new features
and other upgrades without costly changes to the adapter hardware,
provides the kind of technical flexibility and investment protection
that is critical when working with new and evolving technology.
The
Emulex LPe11000 family of PCIe HBAs is supported by Emulex's
centralized HBA management suite, HBAnyware. HBAnyware is a driver -
based technology that enables discovery and complete management of HBAs
within the SAN, reducing total cost of ownership and planned downtime
while enabling sophisticated management capabilities such as remote
firmware upgrades from a single console anywhere in a SAN.
