Emulex^® Gen 6
Fibre Channel HBAs
LPe32000-Series for Cisco UCS C-Series
and MDS 9000 Product Family
Faster Flash. Better
Virtualization. Lossless
Networking.
The Emulex Gen 6 (32Gb) Fibre
Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters
(HBAs) by Broadcom 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.
Fibre Channel is the gold standard
for network storage connectivity in
enterprise and cloud deployments.
The latest Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs
offer higher performance, lower
latency, enhanced diagnostics
and manageability for Cisco
UCS C-Series rack servers. The
LPe32000-series HBAs are available
with single or dual 32GFC optics.
Unique to Fibre Channel technology
is its deep ecosystem support
making it ideal for large scale, easy-
to-manage storage deployments.
Users can count on a complete
suite of management software, in-
box drivers for mainstream server
operating systems, software-defined
storage APIs and tools, and the
strength to support high service-
level agreement (SLA) applications.
Accelerate
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.
Compared to the previous
generation, Emulex Gen 6 HBAs
deliver 2x greater bandwidth—
12,800MBps (2 ports 32G, full
duplex), less than half the latency,
and support an industry-leading
1.6 million IOPS on a single port,
ensuring SLAs are met. Emulex
Gen 6 HBAs are an excellent
choice for database applications
as recent TPC-H testing in a data
warehousing environment have
demonstrated up to 71% faster
completion times vs. the previous
generations of HBAs. To enable the
highest Virtual Machine density,
Gen 6 HBAs provide support for
up to 255 virtual functions, 1,024
Message Signaled Interrupts and
expansive on-board context for
exchanges and logins.

Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs in a Microsoft
SQL Server environment vs. the previous
generations of HBAs
2. Based on published FIELD MTBF of 10
million hours for the Emulex family of FC
HBAs.
