Emulex (LP1050-F2) Network Adapter

The Emulex LP1050 family of host bus adapters offers highly integrated 2Gb/s Fiber Channel to PCI/PCI-X connectivity solutions for mid-range storage area networks. The LP1050 HBAs deliver exceptional performance through the use of ''Thor'', Emulex's sixth generation Fiber Channel controller. The Thor high performance controller is a dual channel device that combines ARM9 microprocessors, 1Gig/2Gig SERDES, and an advanced Fiber Channel protocol engine into a single module. The robust features of Emulex's LightPulse HBAs provide the flexibility and broad interoperability needed for highly scalable mid-range SAN environments. The LP1050 builds upon the Emulex software architecture, which enables the independence of an operating system's device driver from the underlying HBA platform. This exclusive HBA architecture is the foundation for proven reductions in the total cost of ownership of a SAN. The Emulex LP1050 HBA architecture provides a platform that is fully software compatible with previous generations of Minimize
