Emulex LPe1105-HP 4Gb FC HBA for HP c-Class BladeSystem - key benefits

Value

• Emulex installation and management tools automate installation and provide local and remote HBA configuration and management, therefore reducing cost of HBA installations across the enterprise
• Only Emulex HBAs feature a firmware upgradeable architecture for long-term investment protection, feature and performance upgrades and seamless backward compatibility.
• A common driver model amongst all Emulex HBAs enables a customer to standardize on one driver version across their entire installed base - thus reducing the cost and complexity of managing all HBAs.
• Superior Quality and Reliability- Emulex HBAs deliver industry-leading reliability levels which minimizes downtime and increases productivity

Simplicity

• Emulex's unique Service Level Interface (SLI) architecture allows complete independence between HBA hardware, firmware and drivers. That means no reboots during configuration changes and no need for OS specific firmware. A single driver model simplifies management and upgrades across multiple generations of HBAs.
• Rich suite of software - Setup programs like Enterprise AutoPilotT Installer provide customizable scripting capabilities for both interactive and automated installations. As a centralized management suite, HBAnywareT incorporates agent technology that provides discovery, reporting and management of local and remote HBAs with both in-band Fibre Channel and out-of-band IP support, enabling sophisticated management capabilities such as remote firmware upgrades and advanced diagnostics from a single console anywhere in the SAN.

Agility

• Maximum SAN Performance - The LPe1105-HP delivers maximum performance levels in real-world application environments, with superior full-duplex data throughput levels that optimize SAN performance. Emulex's exclusive Dynamic Frame Multiplexing ensures consistently superior performance in mixed load environments such as disk and tape back-up applications.
