for applications that rely on high-availability for business continuity. The HPE LPe1205A leverages the several generations of Fibre
Channel design to provide the greatest level of performance, scalability and manageability. Using Emulex's exclusive firmware and driver
architecture, the HPE LPe1205A is designed to be fully driver compatible with all Emulex HBAs.
Furthermore, this architecture allows firmware to be upgraded without taking the server off-line or re-booting, and without the need to
upgrade the driver. This provides hardware investment protection and ensures maximizes system uptime. As with all Emulex LightPulse
Fibre Channel HBAs, the HPE LPe1205A is managed with Emulex OneCommand™ Manager (OCM) HBA management application. OCM
provides a secure, centralized administration console to discover, and manage Emulex Fibre Channel HBAs on local and remote hosts.
Powerful diagnostic tools and flexible interface options (GUI, CLI and Browser) provide the greatest level of manageability. Fibre Channel
is the de-facto standard for virtual server storage connectivity and Emulex HBAs are fully qualified for virtual server environments.
