Sun StorageTek™

Sun Microsystems ships Sun-branded Emulex Fibre Channel host bus adapters certified for Sun servers and storage. Meeting strong end user demand, Sun brands, distributes and supports custom versions of the Emulex LP11000, LPe11000 and LP10000 LightPulse families of HBAs. As an integral part of Solaris OS distributions, these Emulex-based connectivity solutions enable end users to leverage Sun support and realize the benefits of Sun's native Fibre Channel aware SAN Foundation Software applications, commonly referred to as "Leadville," while benefiting from the robust performance of Emulex SAN connectivity.

With a large installed base of HBAs within Solaris OS environments, Emulex has a longstanding history of supporting our mutual customers. The Sun/Emulex business partnership enables the two companies to jointly meet the needs of Sun's large end user customer base. Sun-branded Emulex HBAs provide the robustness, scalability and performance benefits that fully complement the features and benefits of the Solaris OS.

In addition, the new Sun-branded Emulex HBAs are also supported by Sun for Windows and Linux server attachment, as part of Sun's Open SAN initiative. A major benefit for large heterogeneous data centers is Emulex's unique Universal Boot capability that allows a user to seamlessly deploy the same HBA, including Fibre Channel boot, across multiple hardware architectures and operating systems.

Emulex - the most trusted name in SAN connectivity.
