DATA SHEET
LightPulse^® LPe1250
8Gb Fibre Channel PCIe 2.0 Host Bus Adapter
Unparalleled Manageability, Reliability, Security, Performance and Ease of Deployment
Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability, and industry-
leading virtualization support make the single-port Emulex LightPulse LPe1250 Fibre
Channel host bus adapter (HBA) an ideal solution for mixed-OS SAN environments.
Proven Design, Architecture and Interface
Emulex LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated processor design minimizes onboard
components to improve host performance and efficiency. Advanced error-
checking features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the SAN. Emulex’s
firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance upgrades without
costly hardware changes. The unique Service Level Interface (SLI™) allows use of a
common driver across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given OS platform simplifying
deployment and administration tasks. Installation and management facilities are
designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment.
Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Efficiency
The Emulex OneCommand® Manager enterpriseclass management application
features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that provides centralized
management of all adapters provided by Emulex. This enables IT administrators to
manage network connectivity with one tool for maximum efficiency. OneCommand
Manager also features:
n OneCommand® Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server—enables
comprehensive control of Fibre Channel HBAs and network (FCoE, iSCSI and
TCP/IP NIC) connectivity solutions provided by Emulex from VMware’s vCenter
Server management console. Emulex OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware
vCenter Server supports both the new VMware vSphere 5.1 Web Client and the
VMware vCenter Server desktop client with an identical feature set regardless of
the client.
