Emulex 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs for IBM System x

3

Features

The Emulex 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs have the following features:

Maximum performance with over 1 million input/output operations per second (IOPS) to support larger 



server virtualization deployments and scalable cloud initiatives, and performance to match new 
multicore processors, SSDs, and faster server host bus architectures.

Frame-level multiplexing and out-of-order frame reassembly increases link efficiency and maximizes 



HBA performance.

vScale performance and scalability: Multicore ASIC engine with eight cores supports 255 VFs, 1024 



MSI-X, and 8192 logins/open exchanges for maximum VM density.

2x management functionality, which takes half the time to manage with OneCommand Manager.



Unique OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter for centralized management of adapters 



within a VMware environment.

GreenState power efficiency reduces data center power consumption and associated operational 



expenses by delivering exceptional power to port ratios.

End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC, ECC, and other advanced error checking and 



correcting algorithms, which ensures that data is safe from corruption.

BlockGuard data integrity offload ensures high performance and end-to-end data integrity.



vEngine CPU offload lowers the processor burden on the host server, enabling support for more VMs.



Rock-solid reliability and thermal characteristics, which are essential for mission-critical, cloudm and 



virtualized applications.

Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances 



application performance.

Support for 16 Gb, 8 Gb, and 4 Gb FC devices.



Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual 



Fabric.

Host-to-fabric Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) authentication.



A common driver model allows a single driver to support all Emulex HBAs on a given OS.



Reduces the number of cards, cables, and PCIe slots required.



Exceptional performance per watt and price/performance ratios.



Integrates seamlessly into existing SANs.



Allows application of SAN best practices, tools, and processes with virtual server deployments.



Ensures data availability and data integrity.



Universal boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any 



given hardware.

Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime.



Detailed and real-time event logging and tracing enables quick diagnosis of SAN problems.



The beaconing feature flashes the HBA LEDs, simplifying their identification within server racks.



The environmental monitoring feature helps optimize SAN availability.
