Fibre Channel (FC) is a technology for constructing storage area networks (SANs). When deployed with fibre optic links, FC networks allow users to establish a centralized pool of storage with cable lengths that span rooms, floors or inter-building separations between server and storage. FC and FCOE is an ideal connection technology choice when applications require low latency or high bandwidth such as video editing, backup/restore, and data mining.

LSI Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCOE) and Fibre Channel host bus adapters are engineered to deliver unsurpassed performance, port density, and ease of use. These cost-effective HBAs install quickly, auto-configure and operate with a powerful software suite that fully automates the task of deploying server to SAN connectivity. LSI adapters are built with the powerful Fusion-MPT™ architecture, which means they are delivered with robust proven drivers available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, Netware and more.

LSI HBAs support all bus speeds up to the listed number.
