Description
The LightPulse™ LP850 Fibre Channel PCI Host
Bus Adapters deliver exceptional performance
through the use of Emulex’s Dragonfly ASIC, a
266 MIPS onboard processor and high speed buffer
memory. The LP850 features a 64-bit PCI interface
and provides the richest feature set available.
The LP850 provides high-performance fibre
channel connectivity for entry-level Windows 2000,
Windows NT, Linux and NetWare systems. Based on
the Emulex LP8000 architecture, the LP850 provides
a unique combination of features, including
switched fabric support using F_Port and FL_Port
connections, full-duplex data transfers,high data
integrity features, support for all fibre channel
topologies and support for service classes 2 and
3.
The LP850 also features sophisticated hardware
that provides superior performance in storage area
networks, delivering low latency and high
throughput in switched, arbitrated loop and
clustered environments. The LP850 is available
with copper and short-wave optical GBICs as well
as embedded copper and optic interfaces.
Driver Support |
The LightPulse™ LP850 is complemented by a
rich suite of 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 and NetWare environments. All drivers are
also fully compatible with the Emulex LP9002L,
LP9000, LP8000, LP7000E and LP952L host bus
