DELL LPE12000-M8-LP StorageWorks 81E 1-Port FC 8GB/s PCIex8 Low Profile HBA

Description

The DELL LPE12000-M8-LP, part of the StorageWorks 81E family, is a single-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This adapter is engineered to provide reliable and high-performance connectivity to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). With a single 8Gb/s Fibre Channel port, it offers a dedicated and robust link for servers to access shared storage resources. The HBA utilizes a PCI Express (PCIe) x8 interface, ensuring sufficient bandwidth to support the full 8Gb/s speed of the Fibre Channel connection. Its low-profile form factor makes it suitable for installation in a wide range of enterprise servers, including dense rackmount configurations and systems where space is a constraint. This design ensures compatibility and ease of integration into various server environments. The StorageWorks 81E HBA is designed for enterprise-level performance and reliability, supporting standard Fibre Channel protocols and features necessary for SAN operations. It is an essential component for servers that require direct access to Fibre Channel storage, enabling efficient data transfer for applications such as databases, virtualization, and other I/O-intensive workloads. The single-port design is often chosen for specific connectivity needs or when redundancy is managed at other layers.
