Fibre Channel HBAs

As IT trends such as blade servers and server virtualization deployments become increasingly popular in today’s data centers Storage Area Networks (SANs), the infrastructure of choice for the enterprise is becoming congested. To increase network bandwidth and thereby alleviate this congestion your customers will be looking to 8Gb/s Fibre Channel solutions.

Emulex is well positioned for 8Gb/s. With seamless migration, combined with the ability to auto-negotiate transfer speeds, your Emulex customers can maintain their investment in 2Gb/s and 4Gb/s Fibre Channel while deploying new LPe1200x and LP1200x 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) to take advantage of increased network bandwidth.
