Description
Optimized for Sun Microsystems SBus servers,
the LightPulse™ LP8000S Fibre Channel SBus host
adapter provides the flexibility and broad
interoperability needed for complex highly
scalable SANs.
The LP8000S 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 LP8000S is available
with a short-wave optic interface.
Common hardware/firmware is used for the PCI-based
LP8000 and the LP8000s, providing a uniform
feature set across all Sun platforms.
The LP8000S host adapter delivers exceptional
performance through the use of Emulex’s
Dragonfly ASIC, a 266 MIPs on-board processor and
state of the art dual-ported buffer memory. The
LP8000S includes sophisticated capabilities such
as full-duplex data transfers, full fabric
support, parity protection and large data buffers.
Driver Support |
The LightPulse™ LP8000S is complemented by
robust software support including multi-protocol
(SCSI & IP) operation, enabling advanced
storage area network (SAN) implementations in
Solaris environments. The LP8000S Solaris driver
shares a common sourcebase with drivers for the
Emulex LP9002L, LP9000, LP8000 and LP7000E PCI
host bus adapters, allowing a common look and feel
across seperate hardware platforms.
