Overview
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBA) enable data exchange over large distances and extend your existing FUJITSU server systems by including communication interfaces using high-speed communication technology. All connections are redundant and hot-pluggable.The combination of hardware and software exemplifies the high-performance quality of communication. The number of system restarts is reduced thanks to optimized software and extended error check functions help improve the integrity of your company’s information.

LPe16000 / LPe16002 Fibre Channel cards
The new 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) for the PRIMERGY server is an optimal Fibre Channel HBA for virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments. The Fibre Channel HBA LPe16000/16002 takes performance to a new level with PCIe 3.0 support, data integrity capabilities and cloud scale reliability, and ease of use. Organizations looking to improve performance, protect against data corruption, and simplify operations of FC SANs in cloud or high performance environments can benefit from deploying the LPe16000/16002.

The LightPulse single and dual port LPe16000/16002 feature the Emulex bullet-proof driver stack built on a heritage reaching back to the first generation Fibre Channel adapters resulting in rock-solid reliability in 16Gb/s, 8Gb/s and 4Gb/s environments. With almost 1.2 million IOPS, they are ideally suited for Fibre Channel connectivity to solid state disks (SSDs) and new multi-core processors.

The new  PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 LPe16000/16002 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBA) provide outstanding input/output operations per second (IOPS) performance plus lightning fast response times and 4x better IOPS performance per watt making it the clear choice for the toughest virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments.
