Emulex releases 8Gbit/sec. network adapter
Emulex Corp. today announced its latest Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) with four 8Gbit/sec. ports on a single board, doubling the capacity for its LightPulse HBAs.
Emulex said its new LPe12004 quad-channel 8Gbit/sec. HBA is targeted at high-bandwidth, slot-limited servers, virtual tape libraries (VTLs), storage arrays and tape libraries. The new LightPulse HBAs also come in single- and dual-channel configurations.
The HBA is backward compatible with existing 4Gbit/sec. and 2Gbit/sec. Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs) and is equipped with a service level interface, which enables driver compatibility across all generations of Emulex HBAs.
"The LPe12004 addresses the bandwidth and slot constraint challenges of I/O intensive applications and next generation data centers," said Steve Daheb, Emulex's chief marketing officer and senior vice president of business development.
The LPe-family of HBAs is available now. A four-port model will retail for $5,349; a dual-port model for $2,695 and a single-channel model for $1,845.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
