The LightPulse™ LP8000 fibre channel PCI host bus adapters deliver exceptional performance through the use of Emulex’s Dragonfly ASIC, a 266 MIPs onboard processor and state of the art dual-ported buffer memory. The LP8000 features a 64-bit PCI interface and provides the richest set of features available.

The LP8000 is designed to support mission-critical enterprise applications. The LP8000 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 class 2 and 3.

The LP8000 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.Support for both copper and fiber optic cabling is provided through standard GBIC or embedded interfaces.

Driver Support |

The LightPulse™ LP8000 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, HP-UX, NetWare, Solaris and AIX environments. All drivers are also fully compatible with the Emulex LP9002L, LP9000, LP7000E, LP952L and LP850 host bus adapters.
