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.
