About the Broadcom Emulex LPe38004-M2 64GFC Quad-Port FC HBA
The Broadcom Emulex LPe38004-M2 delivers the sub-microsecond latency and consistent IOPS throughput that modern SLA commitments demand. As a 64GFC Quad-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, this card transforms enterprise storage infrastructure by combining high-speed connectivity with intelligent congestion management, making it the architecture of choice for storage architects and IT infrastructure teams deploying next-generation data center fabrics.
Built on the LightPulse product line, the LPe38004-M2 (Broadcom part number LPe38004-M2) offers auto-negotiating 64Gb/s per-port speed with fallback to 32G, 16G, or 8G, ensuring seamless integration into heterogeneous SAN environments. The adapter supports both FCP (SCSI) and NVMe/FC protocols, enabling workloads from traditional enterprise storage to NVMe-optimized systems on a single card. Hardware-based FC congestion management compliant with FC-BB-7 eliminates bottlenecks at the fabric edge, while T10-DIF end-to-end data integrity protects against silent data corruption. With NPIV support for N-Port ID virtualization and unified driver frameworks across VMware vSphere, RHEL, SLES, Windows Server, and Oracle Solaris, deployment complexity drops significantly across your virtual and bare-metal estate.
