The Emulex LPE-16000 HBA from Dell„¢ is a Single-port host bus adapter that offers exceptional performance and advanced management functionality that can shave days off installing and managing adapters. It is coupled with up to 3x better IOPS performance per watt, which makes Dell 16Gb Fibre Channel (16GFC) host bus adapters (HBAs) the clear choice for the toughest virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. This product has been tested and validated on Dell systems. It is supported by Dell Technical Support when used with a Dell system.
Highlights
- Its vScale performance and scalability-multi-core ASIC engine with eight cores supports 255 VFs, 1024 MSi-X and 8192 logins/open exchanges for maximum VM density-up to 4x more than other adapters
- It has 2x management functionality, and takes half the time to manage with OneCommand Manager
- It has unique OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter for centralized management of adapters within a VMware environment
- The GreenState power efficiency-reduces data center power consumption and associated OPEX by delivering exceptional power to port ratios
- BlockGuard data integrity-T10 PI support protects against silent data corruption
- VEngine CPU offload-lowers CPU burden on host server, enabling support for more VMs
- Rock-solid reliability and thermal characteristics, essential for mission-critical, cloud and virtualized applications
- Support for Message Signaled Interrupts extended (MSI-X), improves host utilization and enhances application performance
- Support for 16GFC and 8GFC devices
- It contains comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
- Provides Virtual Fabric Host-to-fabric Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) authentication
- Common driver model, allows a single driver to support all HBAs provided by Emulex on a given OS
Product Features
- Powerful management software for maximum data center efficiency
Emulex HBAs are compatible with the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller with Lifecycle Controller systems management solution. iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller technology allows administrators to deploy, monitor, manage, configure, update, troubleshoot and remediate Dell servers from any location, and without the use of agents. It accomplishes this regardless of operating system, hypervisor presence or state. - Proven design, architecture and interface
The Emulex LightPulse highly integrated multicore processor 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). This firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance upgrades without costly hardware changes. The unique Generation Service Level Interface (SLI) allows use of a common driver across all models of adapters provided by Emulex on a given operating system platform. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment.
