- Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs are designed to address the demanding performance, reliability and management requirements of modern networked storage systems that utilize high performance and low latency solid state storage drives for caching and persistent storage as well as hard disk drive arrays
- The unique Emulex Dynamic Multi-core Architecture delivers unparalleled performance and more efficient port utilization than other HBAs by applying all ASIC resources to any port that needs it
- Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs deliver enhanced security via the secure firmware update feature which protects and ensures the authenticity of device firmware
The Emulex Gen 6 16 Gb Fiber Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters (HBA) by Broadcom for PRIMERGY and PRIMEQUEST server systems are optimal Fiber Channel HBAs for virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. The PFC EP Emulex Gen 6 Fiber Channel HBAs LPe31000 by Broadcom take performance to a new level with PCIe 3.0 support, data integrity capabilities and cloud scale reliability, and ease of use. Organizations looking to improve performance, protect against data corruption, and simplify operations of FC SANs in cloud or high performance environments can benefit from deploying the PFC EP LPe31000.
The single and dual port FC HABs feature the Emulex bullet-proof driver stack built on a heritage reaching back to the first generation Fiber Channel adapters resulting in rock-solid reliability in 16 Gb/s, 8 Gb/s and 4 Gb/s environments. With over 1.6 million IOPS on a single port, they are ideally suited for Fiber Channel connectivity to flash storage arrays.
Compared to the previous generation, Emulex Gen 6 HBAs deliver 2x greater bandwidth - 6,400MBps (2 ports 16G, full duplex), less than half the latency, and support an industry-leading 1.6 million IOPS on a single port, ensuring SLAs are met.
