Emulex-branded Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) by Broadcom are designed to address the demanding performance, reliability and management requirements of today's enterprises that are deploying low latency all-flash and NVMe networked storage arrays.
With a common driver model supporting all Emulex HBAs for each operating system, upgrading to next generation Emulex HBAs guarantees seamless migration. Additionally, Fibre Channel technology is backward compatible with the two previous generations.
HBAs and optics (transceivers) are backward compatible with 16GFC and 8GFC equipment. This provides a smooth upgrade path and investment protection for enterprises.
