Purpose
The Sun Storage 16 Gb Fibre Channel PCIe Universal Host Bus Adapter (Emulex) is a new class of adapter that provides PCI selectable 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) or 10 GbE Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity—meeting today’s and tomorrow’s connectivity needs while preserving IT investments. Changing fabric personalities is seamless via smart detection of SFP+ optical transceivers. Depending on which optical transceiver is installed, the HBA will intelligently know to run in FC or FCoE mode. In an Ethernet environment, the adapter provides full Ethernet (NIC) connectivity concurrently with FCoE.
Scope
