Emulex LP982-F2 Emulex LightPulse Single Port 2GB Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA

Product Description

The Emulex LP982-F2 is a robust single-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides reliable connectivity for servers to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Operating at 2Gbps Fibre Channel speeds, this adapter is designed to meet the demands of enterprise storage environments where consistent data access and high availability are paramount. The inclusion of Emulex's LightPulse technology ensures advanced features and performance optimizations for storage traffic. This HBA utilizes the PCI-X interface, a parallel bus standard that was prevalent in servers designed for high-bandwidth I/O operations before the widespread adoption of PCI-Express. The LP982-F2 leverages this interface to deliver efficient data transfer between the server's processor and the Fibre Channel fabric, enabling seamless access to storage resources. Its single-port configuration makes it a suitable choice for servers requiring a dedicated connection to the SAN. Emulex HBAs are recognized for their stability and compatibility, making the LP982-F2 a dependable component for building or expanding Fibre Channel storage infrastructure. It facilitates critical storage functions such as data backup, archiving, and high-performance application data access, ensuring that businesses can rely on their storage systems for mission-critical operations.
