Emulex iSCSI HBA's

The Emulex GN9000/SI host bus adapter (HBA) is a high-performance iSCSI HBA featuring 64-bit PCI v2.2 and 1Gb/s data rate using industry standard Gigabit Ethernet networks. The GN9000/SI implements the iSCSI and TCP/IP protocols in firmware to achieve the maximum storage access performance over standard Gigabit Ethernet/IP networks. The result is high throughput, with less than 5% CPU overhead.

By encapsulating SCSI protocols in standard TCP/IP packets, the GN9000/SI HBA reliably transports block-level data over existing Gigabit Ethernet/IPbased network infrastructures. Supporting both initiator (host) and target (storage device) modes, the GN9000/SI enables host systems to deliver and access block-level data anywhere within a Gigabit Ethernet/IP network, delivering data where it is needed.
