The Emulex 32 Gb FC HBAs have an advanced ASIC which can achieve 1.6M IOPS on a single port by using Emulex\'s Dynamic Multicore architecture, which dynamically scales HBA resources to either port of a dual-port adapter as needed. This is essential when ports are used in active-standby mode.
The adapters can provide near limitless scalability to support maximum VM density, with 2x more on-chip resources and bandwidth. These low latency HBAs can also improve your VDI experience, providing noticeable improvements during boot storms, and allow faster data warehousing and meet the massive bandwidth requirements of flash storage arrays.



The Emulex 32 Gb FC HBAs have the following specifications:
•Based on the Emulex LPe32000 (single port) and LPe32002 (dual port) adapters

•Management software:
?Emulex AutoPilot Installer automates the HBA installation process and reduces time to deployment and administrative costs. Automated installation and configuration of driver and management tools simplifies deployment of multiple adapters within Windows environments. A single installation of driver and management application eliminates multiple reboots and ensures that each component is installed correctly and the HBA is ready to use.
?The Emulex OneCommand Manager application enables centralized discovery, monitoring, reporting, and administration of Emulex HBAs and CNAs on local and remote hosts. Powerful automation capabilities facilitate remote driver parameter, firmware, and boot code upgrades. In addition to the GUI interface, management functions can also be performed through a scriptable command-line interface (CLI) and a web browser.
?Emulex management instrumentation complies with Open Management Standards, such as SMI-S and common HBA API support, which enables seamless upward integration into enterprise storage and server management solutions.
