Description
Server blades are excellent platforms for commerce, database and ERP/CRM applications and are broadly deployed within enterprise data center environments. Server blades are also ideal solutions for integration into SANs. Today, nearly one - third of server blades are attached to Fiber Channel SANs.
The Emulex - based Fiber Channel Mezzanine card provides high - performance, scalable SAN connectivity for HP server blades using Windows or Linux operating systems. Based on the same field - proven ASIC firmware and driver technology as the Emulex LP10000 family of HBAs, the Emulex - based Fiber Channel card is fully driver - compatible with the entire line of Emulex HBAs. This makes it ideal for end users that already rely on Emulex HBAs in their existing SAN infrastructure. The Emulex - based mezzanine card provides unmatched compatibility, interoperability and robustness making it the ideal choice for SAN connectivity in organizations of any size.
The Emulex - based Fiber Channel Mezzanine card provides redundant high - performance 2Gb/s connectivity enabling highly - available, scalable storage to meet the needs of the most demanding applications and environments. In addition, the Emulex - based Fiber Channel Mezzanine card features an exclusive firmware - based architecture, which allows firmware to be upgraded without taking the server offline or rebooting. This provides investment protection, ensuring minimum downtime, while eliminating the need to test or qualify new driver software.
A wide range of industry standard operating system drivers, including Windows and Linux, and a variety of OEM - developed operating system drivers support the installed base of Emulex HBAs. Emulex drivers support an open standards - based management application programming interface (API), which allows OEM customers and partners to seamlessly integrate support for Emulex HBAs, enabling the development and implementation of advanced Storage Area Network management services.
