The Emulex LPe1105-HP dual port PCI Express Fibre Channel HBA provides reliable, high-performance 4 Gb/s connectivity, enabling high-availability to scalable storage in order to meet the needs of the most demanding applications and environments. Based on the same field-proven ASIC, firmware, and driver technology as Emulex's LPe1150 HBA, the Emulex LPe1105-HP is fully driver compatible with all Emulex HBAs As a centralized management suite, HBAnyware™ incorporates agent technology that provides discovery, reporting and management of local and remote HBAs.
Fibre Channel is the de-facto standard for virtual server storage connectivity and Emulex HBAs are fully qualified for virtual server environments. In addition, the Emulex HBAs feature an exclusive firmware-based architecture, which allows firmware and features to be upgraded without taking the server off-line or re-booting, and without the need to upgrade the driver. This provides investment protection of end user hardware and ensures minimum downtime.
-
4 Gb/s Fibre Channel link speed support, PCI-Express 1.0a, Multi-Path support for redundant HBAs and paths, Superior performance capable of sustaining up to 115,000 I/Os per second per channel, Full fabric support with automatic topology and speed adaptation, Full support for both FC service Class 2 and 3, Support FC-Tape devices.

Value: Emulex installation and management tools automate installation and provide local and remote HBA configuration and management, therefore reducing cost of HBA installations across the enterprise. Emulex HBAs feature a firmware upgradeable architecture for long-term investment protection, feature and performance upgrades and seamless backward compatibility. A common driver model amongst all Emulex HBAs enables a customer to standardize on one driver version across their entire installed base - thus reducing the cost and complexity of managing all HBAs. Superior Quality and Reliability- Emulex HBAs deliver industry-leading reliability levels which minimizes downtime and increases productivity.
-
Simplicity: Emulex's unique Service Level Interface (SLI) architecture allows complete independence between HBA hardware, firmware and drivers. That means no reboots during configuration changes and no need for OS specific firmware. A single driver model simplifies management and upgrades across multiple generations of HBAs.
Rich suite of software - As a centralized management suite, HBAnyware™ incorporates agent technology that provides discovery, reporting and management of local and remote HBAs with both in-band Fibre Channel and out-of-band IP support, enabling sophisticated management capabilities such as remote firmware upgrades and advanced diagnostics from a single console anywhere in the SAN.
-
Agility: Maximum SAN Performance - The LPe1105-HP delivers maximum performance levels in real-world application environments, with superior full-duplex data throughput levels that optimize SAN performance. Emulex's exclusive Dynamic Frame Multiplexing ensures consistently superior performance in mixed load environments such as disk and tape back-up applications.
- Emulex HBAs deliver industry-leading reliability levels by utilizing a field-proven, single-chip design that minimizes components. Emulex HBAs also use a combination of parity, CRC, ECC and other advanced error checking methods to verify the integrity of data blocks, which are passed from the host interface through the HBA.
- Emulex HBAs deliver maximum performance levels in real-world application environments, with superior full-duplex data throughput and I/Os per second. And Emulex's exclusive Dynamic Frame Multiplexing ensures consistently superior performance in mixed load environments such as disk and tape back-up applications.
- Comprehensive diagnostic functions, coupled with detailed event logging and tracing, provide for fast, efficient SAN troubleshooting.
- With the largest installed base of any Fibre Channel HBA supplier, Emulex is trusted by the world's largest, mission critical enterprises. Long-standing partnerships with leading storage vendors ensure unparalleled compatibility levels.
