Proven Design, Architecture and Interface
Emulex LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated processor design minimizes onboard
components to improve host performance and eciency. Advanced error-checking
features ensure the integrity of block data as it traverses the Storage Area Network
(SAN). Emulex’s firmware-based architecture enables feature and performance
upgrades without costly hardware changes. The unique Service Level Interface
(SLI™) allows use of a common driver across all models of Emulex HBAs on a given
OS platform. Installation and management facilities are designed to minimize server
reboots and further simplify deployment. Emulex is trusted by data centers the
world-over, with more than 12 million HBA ports shipped and installed to date.
Powerful Management Software for Maximum Data Center Eciency
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 eciency. OneCommand
Manager also features:
nOneCommand® Manager plug-in for VMware vCenter Server—enables
comprehensive control of Fibre Channel HBAs and network (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.
