The Emulex LPe 1105-HP dual port Fibre Channel HBA provides reliable, high-performance 4 Gb/s connectivity, enabling high-availability to scalable storage in order to meet the needs of your demanding applications & environments. Based on the same field-proven ASIC, firmware, & driver technology as Emulex's renowned LPe 1150 HBA, the Emulex LPe 1105-HP is fully driver compatible with all Emulex HBAs. HP provides powerful installation software to streamline the installation of the Emulex HBA driver & management applications. As a centralized management suite, HBAnyware T incorporates agent technology that provides discovery, reporting & management of local & remote HBAs. Emulex HBAs feature an exclusive firmware-based architecture, which allows firmware & features to be upgraded without taking the server off-line or re-booting, & without the need to upgrade the driver. This provides investment protection of end user hardware & ensures minimum downtime. value. Emulex installation & management tools automate installation & provide local & remote HBA configuration & management, therefore reducing cost of HBA installations across the enterprise. Emulex HBAs feature a firmware upgradeable architecture for long-term investment protection, feature & performance upgrades & seamless backward compatibility. A common driver model among all Emulex HBAs enables a customer to standardize on one driver version across their entire installed base?thus reducing the cost & complexity of managing all HBAs. Emulex HBAs deliver industry-leading reliability levels which minimizes downtime & increases productivity. Simplicity. The Emulex Service Level Interface (SLI) architecture allows complete independence between HBA hardware, firmware & drivers. That means no reboots during configuration changes & no need for OS specific firmware. This simplifies management & upgrades across multiple generations of HBAs. A centralized management suite, HBAnyware™ provides discovery, reporting & management of local & remote HBAs with both in-band Fibre Channel & out-of-band IP support, enabling remote firmware upgrades & advanced diagnostics from a single console anywhere in the SAN. Agility. The LPe 1105-HP delivers high performance levels in real-world application environments, with full-duplex data throughput levels that optimize SAN performance. The exclusive Dynamic Frame Multiplexing ensures consistently superior performance in mixed load environments such as disk & tape back-up.
