Gen 5 Fibre Channel Dual-channel Host Bus Adapter For Dell PowerEdge Servers

The Dell LPe16000 Gen 5 Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) provides outstanding input/output operations per second (IOPS) performance plus lightning fast response times and 4x better IOPS performance per watt than the previous FC generation. It is the clear choice for the toughest virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. With up to 1 million IOPS on a single port, it provides a simple plug-and-play application acceleration boost for existing FC SANs, and it is ideally suited for FC connectivity to new solid state disk (SSD) and multicore processor server deployments. Its advanced management functionality can shave days off installing and managing adapters. The LightPulse® single-port LPe16000 and dual-port LPe16002 feature the Emulex bullet-proof driver-stack, support for 16GFC with backward compatibility to 8GFC HBAs and rock-solid reliability with a heritage that spans back to the first generation of Fibre Channel to today’s Gen 5 HBAs. Emulex is trusted by data centers the world- over, with more than 12 million HBA ports shipped and installed to date.
