LightPulse HBAs’ highly integrated single chip design minimizes
onboard components, while advanced error-checking and correcting
methods assure robust data integrity. The Emulex 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.
Installation and management applications are designed to minimize
reboots and further simplify deployment. Key Features
Exceptional performance and full-duplex data
throughput
Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support
for N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
Simplified installation and configuration using common
HBA drivers and AutoPilot Installer®
Efficient administration via HBAnyware® for HBAs anywhere
in the SAN
Common driver model eases management and enables upgrades
independent of HBA firmware
Key Benefits
Superior quality and
reliability ensure data availability
Highly efficient installation
accelerates deployment and reduces administration costs
Maximum SAN performance
increases scalability and user satisfaction in large enterprise
installations

Additional Features
Emulex LightPulse technology features Frame-level Multiplexing
and out-of-order frame reassembly for maximum link
utilization.
End-to-end data protection with hardware parity, CRC, ECC and
other advanced error checking and correcting ensure that data is
safe from corruption.
Detailed real-time event logging and tracing enables quick
diagnosis of SAN problems.
Universal Boot capability allows the appropriate boot
environment to be automatically selected for any given OS.
Strong authentication between host and fabric is based on Fibre
Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) Diffie-Helmann Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol (DH-CHAP).
