Product Description

1.PCIe 3.0 bus increases interconnect performance bandwidth by 2x compared to PCIe 2.0; the new encoding scheme reduces overhead by 20% resulting in more efficient data transfers and power efficiency

2.vScale performance and scalability-multi-core ASIC engine with eight cores supports 255 virtual functions (VFs), 1024 Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) and 8192 logins/open exchanges for maximum virtual machine (VM) density-up to 4x more than other adapters

3.2x management functionality, and takes half the time to manage with OneCommand® Manager

4.GreenState power efficiency-reduces data center power consumption and associated OPEX by delivering

5.up to 4x better IOPS performance/watt

6.BlockGuard® data integrity offload- high performance T10 PI end-to-end data integrity protects against silent data corruption

7.vEngine CPU offload-lowers CPU burden on host server, enabling support for more VMs

8.Rock-solid reliability and thermal characteristics,

9.essential for mission-critical, cloud and virtualized applications

10.Support for MSI-X, improves host utilization and enhances application performance

11.Support for Gen 5 (16GFC), 8GFC and 4GFC devices

12.Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Windows virtual HBAs

13.Secure management with role-based administration integrated with Light Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Active Directory (AD) services

14.Common driver model, allows a single driver to support all Emulex HBAs on a given OS
