Description
The Broadcom Emulex LPe35000-M2 is a next-generation Gen 7 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter engineered to deliver exceptional performance, ultra-low latency, and enterprise-grade reliability for modern NVMe and SCSI-based SAN environments. Featuring a single 32GFC short-wave optical port, this PCIe 4.0 low-profile HBA doubles the bandwidth of 16GFC adapters and provides seamless backward compatibility to 16GFC and 8GFC networks.
Designed for high-performance applications, all-flash arrays, and NVMe-optimized workloads, the LPe35000-M2 enables up to 3x better latency, millions of IOPS, and real-time congestion mitigation through full FPIN support. Its enhanced security architecture incorporates Silicon Root of Trust and digitally signed firmware to protect critical infrastructure.
Ideal for data centers upgrading to 32GFC with future scalability in mind, this model is upgradeable to 64GFC optics, delivering long-term value and investment protection. With easy management through Emulex SAN Manager and support for hot-plug optics, administrators can maintain uptime while reducing operational complexity.
