Features
The Emulex LP10000ExDC host bus adapter offers highly integrated 2Gb/s Fibre Channel
connectivity solutions for enterprise-class storage area networks. The LP10000ExDC is a
new member of the LP10000 family
and is
designed for use with PCI-Express servers. The
LP10000ExDC HBA delivers state of the art performance through the use of "Thor",
Emulex’s sixth generation Fibre Channel controller and is a dual channel HBA in a
standard height, half-length card form factor.
The PCI-Express architecture is an open specification designed to address the wide range
of current and future system interconnect requirements. It also defines a flexible, scalable,
high-speed, serial, point-to-point, hot pluggable/hot swappable interconnect that is
software-compatible with PCI.
The PCI-Express architecture allows the LP10000ExDC to use the same drivers and
management tools as the LP10000 host bus adapters for PCI and PCI-X systems.
Emulex’s unique Service Level Interface (SLI) driver architecture, which enables the
independence of the operating systems device driver from the underlying HBA platform,
will allow OEMs and end users to migrate to this new system architecture seamlessly
(without having to change or rewrite drivers utilities and other management tools).
Emulex’s firmware-based architecture, which allows for new features and other upgrades
without costly changes to the adapter hardware, provides the kind of technical flexibility
and investment protection that is critical when working with new and evolving technology.
