DATA SHEET

LPe12000/LPe12002

Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability, and industry-leading
virtualization support make the single-port Emulex LightPulse LPe12000 and dual­port LPe12002 8Gb Fibre Channel (8GFC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) ideal solutions
for enterprise, mixed-OS and virtual server environments.

Proven Design, Architecture and Interface

Emulex LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated processor design minimizes onboard
components to improve host performance and eciency. Advanced error-checking
features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the Storage Area Net work
(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. 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 Ecienc y

The Emulex OneCommand® Manager enterprise-class management application
features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that provides centralized
management of all adapters provided by Emulex. This enables IT administrators to
manage network connectivit y with one tool for maximum eciency. OneCommand
Manager also features:
