The Emulex Fiber Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBAs) is an ideal solution for servers requiring high-speed data transfer in storage connectivity for virtualized environments, data backup, and mission-critical applications. It is designed to meet the needs of modern networked storage systems that utilize high-performance and low-latency solid-state storage drives for caching and persistent storage as well as hard disk drive arrays. The Emulex FC HBA features Express Lane, which prioritizes mission-critical traffic in congested networks ensuring maximum application performance on flash storage arrays. Plenty of input / output operations Maximum performance with up to 1. 6 million input / output operations per second (IOPS) to support larger server virtualization deployments and scalable cloud initiatives, and performance to match multicore processors, SSDs / flash storage, and faster server host bus architectures. Express Lane technology Offer end-to-end Quality of Service (Qo S) application prioritization with Express Lane technology, which allows customers to prioritize faster storage traffic (such as SSDs) ahead of slower traffic (such as spinning hard drives),alleviating potential bottlenecks from slow storage. Increased link efficiency Frame-level multiplexing and out-of-order frame reassembly increases link efficiency and maximizes HBA performance.
