Unparalleled manageability, reliability, performance and ease of deployment Streamlined installation and management, unrivaled scalability and industry-leading virtualization support make the single-channel Emulex LightPulse LPe1250 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) an ideal solution for enterprise, mixed-operating system (OS) and virtual server environments. With powerful management capabilities and broad platform support, they deliver maximum performance in the broadest range of applications and environments. Proven design, architecture and interface Emulex LightPulse HBAs' highly integrated processor design minimized onboard components to improve host performance and efficiency. 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. Encryption-ready feature for easy compliance with government, industry and regulatory compliance mandates All 8Gb/s LightPulse Fibre Channel adapters are encryption-ready, so you can turn your existing SAN into an encrypted SAN easily and non-disruptively. When you are ready to start encrypting data, simply add OneCommand Guardian encryption software and the optional enterprise-class OneCommand Key Manager application--no appliances, switches or other expensive and complicated changes need to be made to your existing architecture. Emulex host-based encryption solutions encrypt data as it's created, at the server, protecting it in-flight and at-rest on the SAN for maximum protection against data theft and loss.
