The Emulex LPe1105-HP dual port PCI Express Fiber Channel HBA provides reliable, high-performance 4 Gb/s connectivity, enabling high-availability to scalable storage in order to meet the needs of the most demanding applications and environments. Based on the same field-proven ASIC, firmware, and driver technology as Emulex's LPe1150 HBA, the Emulex LPe1105-HP is fully driver compatible with all Emulex HBAs. As a centralized management suite, HBAnyware incorporates agent technology that provides discovery, reporting and management of local and remote HBAs. Fiber Channel is the de-facto standard for virtual server storage connectivity and Emulex HBAs are fully qualified for virtual server environments. In addition, the Emulex HBAs feature an exclusive firmware-based architecture, which allows firmware and features to be upgraded without taking the server off-line or re-booting, and without the need to upgrade the driver. This provides investment protection of end user hardware and ensures minimum downtime.
