Description
The LightPulse ™LP8000DC fibre
channel PCI host bus adapters deliver exceptional
performance through the use of two Emulex
Dragonfly ASICs, two 266 MIPS onboard processors,
high speed buffer memory, and a high performance
PCI-PCI bridge. The LP8000DC features a 64-bit PCI
interface and includes sophisticated capabilities
such as full-duplex data transfers and full fabric
support.
The LP8000DC delivers sustained performance in
excess of 45,000 I/Os per second and throughput of
200 MB/s from a single adapter with both channels
performing sequential read operations.
The LP8000DC delivers point-to-point,
arbitrated loop and switch fabric connections as
well as both Class 2 and 3 frame formats for both
channels. Support for fiber optic cabling is
provided through an embedded physical interface.
Driver Support |
The LightPulse™ LP8000DC is complemented by
robust software support including storage protocol
(SCSI), network protocol (IP) as well as
concurrent multi-protocol (SCSI & IP)
operation, enabling advanced storage area network
(SAN) implementations in Windows 2000, Windows NT,
Linux, NetWare and Solaris environments. All
drivers are also fully compatible with the Emulex
LP9002L, LP9000, LP8000, LP7000E, LP952L and LP850
host bus adapters.
