Overview
Faster Flash. Better Virtualization. Lossless
Networking.
The Emulex Gen 6 (16/32Gb) Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) by
Broadcom are designed to address the demanding performance, reliability and
management requirements of modern networked storage systems that utilize high
performance and low latency solid state storage drives for caching and
persistent storage as well as hard disk drive arrays.
Fibre Channel is the gold standard for network storage connectivity in
enterprise and cloud deployments. The latest Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs offer higher
performance, lower latency, enhanced diagnostics and manageability for Cisco UCS
C-Series rack servers. The LPe32000-series HBAs are available with single or
dual 32GFC optics. The LPe31000 is available with dualport 16GFC optics.
Unique to Fibre Channel technology is its deep ecosystem support making it
ideal for large scale, easyto-manage storage deployments. Users can count on a
complete suite of management software, inbox drivers for mainstream server
operating systems, software-defined storage APIs and tools, and the strength to
support high servicelevel agreement (SLA) applications.
Accelerate
The unique Emulex Dynamic Multi-core Architecture delivers unparalleled
performance and more efficient port utilization than other HBAs by applying all
ASIC resources to any port that needs it.
Compared to the previous generation, Emulex Gen 6 HBAs deliver 2x greater
bandwidthup to 12,800MBps (2 ports 32G, full duplex), less than half the
latency, and support an industry-leading 1.6 million IOPS on a single port,
ensuring SLAs are met. Emulex Gen 6 HBAs are an excellent choice for database
applications as recent TPC-H testing in a data warehousing environment have
demonstrated up to 71% faster completion times vs. the previous generations of
HBAs. To enable the highest Virtual Machine density, Gen 6 HBAs provide support
for up to 255 virtual functions, 1,024 Message Signaled Interrupts and expansive
on-board context for exchanges and logins.
NVM Express (NVMe) is a relatively new protocol for solid-state storage
devices built with non-volatile memory technologies. NVMe provides substantially
lower latency for storage I/O operations and significantly higher IOPS per
device. NVMe scales-up the number of devices it can address by adopting NVMe
over Fabrics technology.
Emulex Gen 6 HBAs are NVMe over Fabrics-enabled, providing an additional 55%
lower latency for storage I/O operations versus SCSI. Gen 6 NVMe-enabled HBAs
support NVMe over Fabrics and SCSI concurrently, allowing datacenters to
transition to all-flash storage at their own pace.
Protect
Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs deliver enhanced security via the new secure firmware
update feature which protects and ensures the authenticity of device firmware.
Forward Error Correction (FEC) is a Gen 6 Fibre Channel standard feature that
provides enhanced data reliability and performance by automatically detecting
and recovering from bit errors. It is especially useful in diverse and complex
user environments such as blade system implementations. FEC is a digital signal
processing technique that introduces redundant data, called an error correcting
code, prior to data transmission. FEC then provides the receiver with the
ability to correct errors without a reverse channel to request the
retransmission of data, which improves performance.
T10 Protection Information (T10-PI) data integrity with high performance
hardware offload provides data protection from the server to the storage array.
As one of the founders of the Data Integrity Initiative (DII), Emulex, along
with Oracle and Seagate, was instrumental in defining the T10-PI standard,
which, along with the Data Integrity Extensions (DIX) standard, delivers full
end-to-end data integrity. T10- PI assures the validity of I/O operations
through the exchange of verification information during data transmissions.
Emulex HBAs are renowned for reliability, ensuring maximum SAN uptime. Their
It Just Works reputation is based on 17 million installed ports with proven
industry-leading reliability of 10 million hours field Mean Time Between
Failures (MTBF).
Control
The flagship OneCommand Manager enterprise-class management application
features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that provides centralized
management of all current and previous generations of Emulex FC HBAs. This
enables IT administrators to manage network connectivity with one tool for
maximum efficiency.
Emulex HBA troubleshooting is simplified with OneCaptureTM, an Emulex device
driver utility that gathers system, adapter, device driver, and applications
information. Data collected by OneCapture is compressed into a single file and
can be sent to Broadcom Technical Support for analysis when debugging system
issues or for diagnostic purposes.
