Emulex LPE16002-M6 Network Card Computer Component

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.
Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Efficiency

Emulex Gen 5 adapters are compatible with the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 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. Dell and Emulex further extend this technology by including support for the Gen 5 HBAs; allowing administrators to configure, update, and monitor the adapters without the use of additional tools or agents.
