Description
The Broadcom Emulex LPe31000-M6 is a high-performance Gen 6 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for modern flash-optimized storage environments. Delivering 16GFC throughput with upgradeability to 32GFC, it provides exceptional bandwidth, ultra-low latency, and the reliability demanded by mission-critical enterprise workloads.
Built on the advanced Emulex architecture, the LPe31000-M6 supports NVMe over Fibre Channel, enabling dramatically lower latency and seamless coexistence with traditional SCSI-based FC workloads. It offers robust virtualization performance with extensive on-chip resources for dense VM deployments and supports advanced diagnostics, secure firmware updates, and end-to-end data integrity protections.
Ideal for SAN deployments where performance, uptime, and scalability matter, this single-port short-wave optical HBA is a future-ready solution that integrates effortlessly into existing FC infrastructures.
