The Emulex LPe15004 is an Advanced-8 8G Fibre Channel (8GFC), quad-port, low-profile Host Bus Adapter (HBA) featuring a PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 interface. It delivers breakthrough 8GFC I/O operations per second (IOPS) performance and advanced features such as T10 Protection Information (T10 PI) data integrity and Emulex GreenStateâ„¢ power efficiency, in a small low profile design that provides unique port density for slot-constrained servers.

The LPe15004 delivers 50% more IOPS than competitor's 8GFC quad-port HBA1, plus lightning fast response times and 75% better IOPS performance per watt1, making it the clear choice for the toughest virtualized, cloud and mission-critical deployments. With almost 1.2 million IOPS2, it is ideally suited for FC connectivity to solid state disks (SSDs) and new multicore processors. Its advanced management functionality can shave days off installing and managing adapters

Proven Design, Architecture and Interface

Advanced error-checking features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the Storage Area Network (SAN). Emulex firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance upgrades without costly hardware changes. The unique 4th Generation Service Level Interface (SLIâ„¢) allows use of a common driver across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given operating system (OS) platform. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server reboots and further simplify deployment.

Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Efficiency

The Emulex OneCommand® Manager enterprise-class management application features a multiprotocol, cross-platform architecture that provides centralized management of all adapters provided by Emulex. This enables IT administrators to manage network connectivity with one tool for maximum efficiency. OneCommand Manager also features:

OneCommand® Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server- enables comprehensive control of Fibre Channel HBAs and network (Fibre Channel over Ethernet [FCoE], iSCSI and TCP/IP NIC) connectivity solutions provided by Emulex from VMware's vCenter Server management console. Emulex OneCommand Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server supports both the new VMware vSphere 5.1 Web Client and the VMware vCenter Server desktop client with an identical feature set regardless of the client
