LPE16004 Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – Provides FC connectivity for slot constrained server environments

DATA SHEET
LightPulse® LPe16004
Gen 5 Fibre Channel HBAs
The PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 LPe16004 quad-port Gen 5 Fibre Channel (16GFC) Host
Bus Adapter (HBA) delivers up to 2.4 million I/O operations per second (IOPS)—twice
the IOPS of other Gen 5 FC HBAs, making it ideal for slot constrained servers and
environments that need to maximize FC connectivity performance. It provides
maximum IOPS for solid state disks (SSDs) and new multi-core processor servers.
The LPe16004 HBA cuts response times by more than half and delivers 4x more
IOPS per watt compared to 8GFC HBAs, making it the clear choice for the most
demanding virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. Its advanced
management functionality can shave days off installing and managing adapters.
The LightPulse® LPe16004 features the Emulex bullet-proof driver-stack, backward
compatibility to 4GFC and 8GFC HBAs and rock-solid reliability with a heritage that
spans back to the first generation of Fibre Channel to today’s Gen 5 Fibre Channel
HBAs. LightPulse is trusted by data centers the world-over, with more than 15 million
HBA ports shipped and installed to date.
LightPulse Gen 5 accelerates application performance vs. 8GFC
Performance based on the Gen 5 FC dual-port
LPe16000-series vs. the LPe12000-series HBA.
