Emulex LPe32002-M2 Dual-Port 32Gb Fibre Channel HBA
High-Speed 32Gb Fibre Channel for Enterprise Storage
The Emulex LPe32002-M2 is based on the dual-port LPe32002 32Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter platform for high-speed storage connectivity. Designed for demanding virtualized environments, data backup, mission-critical applications, and flash storage infrastructure, the adapter combines two SFP+ Fibre Channel ports with a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface.
The LPe32002 platform supports 32Gb, 16Gb, 8Gb, and 4Gb Fibre Channel link speeds with automatic negotiation. Its Emulex Engine 501 I/O Controller and Dynamic Multicore Architecture deliver up to 1.6 million IOPS per adapter while dynamically allocating ASIC resources across the dual-port design. ExpressLane technology provides application-level Quality of Service prioritization for storage traffic, while Forward Error Correction and T10-PI support strengthen data integrity.
