HP Technology@Work – BERLIN, April 20, 2009 – Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced that its LightPulse® 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) are optimized for use with the new HP BladeSystem Matrix, an out of the box, pre-integrated platform that creates pools of server, storage, power and network capacity that can be divided and allocated across up to 1000 physical or virtual servers. The Emulex LPe1205-HP 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBA (mezzanine card)  is also available for use with HP BladeSystem c-Class and server blades, including HP ProLiant G6 and HP Integrity blades with support for HP-UX 11i, Linux, VMware, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems.

Emulex LightPulse 8Gb/s Fibre Channel HBAs provide end user customers with the increased performance, I/O bandwidth and the scalability necessary to support next generation data centers. Emulex 8Gb/s storage area network (SAN) connectivity solutions also support the new HP Virtual Connect 8Gb Fibre Channel module and the HP StorageWorks EVA4400 Fibre Channel array.

Providing more choice in adaptors for the end user community has to be a good thing, particularly in terms of performance for Virtual Connect. The adaptor brings more bandwidth to support additional virtual machines, and is backward compatible with the previous adaptors, using a common driver model.
