Product Description
The Emulex LP9002DC LightPulse Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a high-performance connectivity solution for servers requiring direct access to Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). This adapter features dual ports, each capable of operating at a robust 2Gb/s Fibre Channel speed. This dual-port design enhances redundancy and allows for multipathing configurations, which are critical for ensuring high availability and fault tolerance in enterprise storage environments. By providing two independent paths to the SAN, the LP9002DC minimizes the risk of data access interruption due to a single point of failure. Leveraging the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, the LP9002DC offers a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard, enabling efficient data transfer between the server and storage devices. This interface is designed for low latency and high throughput, which are essential for demanding applications such as large databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. The adapter supports the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), the standard for connecting servers to Fibre Channel storage, ensuring broad compatibility with SAN infrastructure and storage arrays. Designed for enterprise-grade reliability, the Emulex LP9002DC is built to withstand the rigors of 24/7 operation. Its hot-pluggable and hot-swappable capabilities allow for installation or replacement without the need to power down the server, further contributing to system uptime and simplifying maintenance procedures. This HBA is a crucial component for organizations looking to build or upgrade their SAN infrastructure, providing a reliable and high-speed link to their critical data.
