Description
The Broadcom Emulex LPe32000-M2 is a single-port 32G Fibre Channel (32GFC) Host Bus Adapter designed for modern high-performance SAN environments. With next-generation Gen 6 Fibre Channel technology, it delivers exceptional throughput, ultra-low latency, and advanced reliability to support flash-optimized storage, NVMe workloads, and mission-critical applications.
Built with Broadcom’s Dynamic Multi-core architecture, the LPe32000-M2 achieves up to 6,400 MB/s full-duplex line-rate throughput per port and supports industry-leading 1.6 million IOPS, ensuring fast data movement even in highly virtualized or heavily loaded infrastructures. NVMe-over-Fibre Channel capability provides up to 55% lower latency compared to traditional SCSI, enabling organizations to seamlessly transition to all-flash environments.
Engineered for enterprise uptime, the adapter incorporates advanced diagnostics, T10-PI data integrity, Forward Error Correction (FEC), secure firmware updates, and compatibility with powerful management tools such as Emulex HBA Manager and Emulex SAN Manager. Its short-wave optical LC SFP+ interface supports multimode or long-wave optics (via approved transceivers), offering flexible deployment across modern SAN architectures.
Ideal for database acceleration, virtualization, cloud deployments, and scalable storage infrastructures, the LPe32000-M2 provides the performance, visibility, and reliability required for next-generation storage networks.
