Overview
The Emulex Gen 6 Fiber Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) by Broadcom are designed to address the demanding performance, reliability and management requirements of modern networked storage systems that utilize high performance and low latency solid state storage drives for caching and persistent storage as well as hard disk drive arrays.¦Fiber Channel is known as the gold standard for network storage connectivity in enterprise and cloud deployments. The Emulex Gen 6 FC HBAs offer higher performance, lower latency, enhanced diagnostics and manageability that benefit both 16 GFC and 32 GFC environments. Emulex LPe31000-series HBAs single or dual 16 GFC optics and can be upgraded with 32 GFC optics later to utilize the full performance of Gen 6 FC technology.
