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 Storage Area Network
(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. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server
reboots and further simplify deployment. Emulex is trusted by data centers the
world-over, with more than 12 million HBA ports shipped and installed to date.
