Broadcom Emulex LPe16002B-M6 Dual-Port 16GFC Fibre Channel HBA
Dual-Port 16GFC Connectivity for Enterprise SAN Environments
The Broadcom Emulex LPe16002B-M6 is based on the LPe16002B dual-port 16G Fibre Channel host bus adapter platform. Designed for Fibre Channel storage networking, the adapter supports 16GFC, 8GFC, and 4GFC link speeds with automatic negotiation and provides up to two Fibre Channel ports operating at 16GFC.
The LPe16002B architecture supports up to 1.2 million input/output operations per second and uses Broadcom Emulex Dynamic Multicore Architecture to support demanding virtualized, cloud, and mission-critical storage environments. CPU offload capabilities help reduce processing burden on the host system, while NPIV and Virtual Fabric support provide Fibre Channel virtualization capabilities.
