Description

The Broadcom LPe31002 FC Host Bus Adapter is an exceptional solution crafted for businesses seeking high-performance networking in modern storage systems. Built to exceed the rigorous demands of enterprise and cloud environments, this Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is the ideal choice for organizations that require robust connectivity and unparalleled speed for their solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drive (HDD) arrays. With its advanced architecture and innovative features, the LPe31002 promises to enhance your data throughput and operational efficiency significantly.

  • Enhanced Performance: The Emulex Gen 6 architecture doubles the bandwidth of its predecessor, delivering astonishing speeds of up to 12,800 MBps through two 32GFC ports or four 16GFC ports in full duplex mode. This translates to lightning-fast data processing, significantly boosting productivity across your network.
  • Dynamic Multi-core Architecture: Designed for optimal resource utilization, the multi-core architecture of the LPe31002 allows better allocation of ASIC resources across ports. This innovation enhances performance and port efficiency, ensuring that all resources are directed to the port that requires it the most for peak operational performance.
  • Lower Latency: Achieving less than half the latency of previous generations, the LPe31002 thrives in high-speed environments. This feature guarantees quicker response times and improved performance during heavy workloads, making it an indispensable asset for any enterprise.
  • Unmatched IOPS Performance: With an industry-leading capacity of 1.6 million IOPS per adapter, the LPe31002 is perfect for data-intensive applications. For those with even greater demands, consider the quad-port LPe32004 model, which can handle up to 3.2 million IOPS, ensuring that you never run short on performance.
  • NVMe Over Fabrics Support: Embrace future-proof technology with NVMe over Fabrics capabilities. The LPe31002 not only offers a 55% reduction in latency compared to SCSI but also has the flexibility to support both NVMe over Fabrics and SCSI simultaneously, providing versatile and efficient storage solutions.
