About the Emulex LPe36002 Dual-Port 32G Fibre Channel HBA

The Emulex LPe36002 is a dual-port 32 Gbps Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter implementing the FC Gen 7 standard with integrated security features. Each port operates independently at line rate, delivering 64 Gbps aggregate throughput for high-performance SAN connectivity. The adapter supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual Fibre Channel (VFC) for server virtualization environments, enabling efficient multi-tenant SAN access across physical and cloud infrastructures.

Designed for enterprise data center deployments, the LPe36002 maintains backward compatibility with existing 16G and 8G Fibre Channel fabrics while providing forward investment protection through native 32G performance. The Gen 7 secure architecture incorporates cryptographic capabilities for encrypted fabric communications. This adapter is optimized for server refresh cycles and mainstream SAN modernization, supporting x8 or x16 PCIe 4.0 slots in standard half-length, low-profile form factor.

Ideal for

  • High-performance database servers requiring sustained 32 Gbps SAN connectivity for OLTP and data warehouse workloads
  • VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized environments utilizing NPIV for multi-tenant storage isolation
  • Enterprise backup and disaster recovery infrastructure with sustained write performance to networked storage
  • OpenStack and Kubernetes persistent volume access via Fibre Channel block storage backends
  • SAP HANA and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) deployments requiring sub-millisecond latency SAN fabrics
  • Mainframe Linux integration and zSeries hybrid cloud connectivity through FC-attached storage arrays
