The Emulex LPe1605-HPE dual port Fibre Channel HBA provides reliable, high-performance connectivity at 8Gb/s and 16Gb/s. In addition to providing greater bandwidth, the HPE LPe1605 also provides features such as data integrity, security and virtualization which are all complimentary to initiatives important to the enterprise data center. For greater system up time, the HPE LPe1605 dual port design is the ideal Fibre Channel connectivity solution for applications that rely on high-availability for business continuity.
The HPE LPe1605 leverages several generations of Fibre Channel design to provide the greatest level of performance, scalability and manageability. Emulex's exclusive firmware architecture allows firmware to be upgraded without taking the server off-line or rebooting, and without the need to upgrade the driver. This provides hardware investment protection and ensures maximizes system uptime. As with all Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel HBAs, the HPE LPe1605 is managed with Emulex OneCommand™ Manager (OCM) HBA management application. OCM provides a secure, centralized administration console to discover, and manage Emulex Fibre Channel HBAs on local and remote hosts. Powerful diagnostic tools and flexible interface options (GUI, CLI and Browser) provide the greatest level of manageability. Fibre Channel is the de-facto standard for virtual server storage connectivity and Emulex HBAs are fully qualified for virtual server environments.

• Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual Fabric
  • Support for up to 255 VPorts improves server consolidation capabilities and asset utilization
• Superior performance capable of sustaining up to 1.2 Million I/Os per second per channel
  • Delivers the performance needed for high transaction data base environments (ie: Oracle, SQL Server, etc)
• Host to Fabric FC-SP authentication
  • Provides advanced security protecting the SAN from potential threats such as WWN spoofing, compromised servers etc.
• BlockGuard™ ready (T10-DIF) - ensures end-to-end data integrity
• Common driver model allows a single driver to support all Emulex HBAs on a given OS
• Easy deployment of new firmware with minimal server reboots
• Efficient centralized administration of Emulex HBAs via powerful management tools
• 16 and 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel link speed support

The HPE BladeSystem c7000 Platinum Enclosure is required to permit 16Gb/s speed. Other HPE BladeSystem c7000 Enclosures and HPE BladeSystem c3000 Enclosures will have a maximum speed of 8Gb/s.

NOTE:
Must be deployed with the BladeSystem c-Class infrastructure and will only work with the BL c-Class Server Enclosures.
