Overview

The Emulex® NetWin 110 host bus adapter (HBA) offers highly integrated 2Gb/s Fibre Channel to PCI/PCI-X connectivity solutions for entry-level storage area networks (SANs) commonly found in small- and medium-sized business (SMB) IT environments. The NetWin 110 HBA delivers SMB-optimized performance and features through the use of Emulex’s industry-leading Fibre Channel controller. The NetWin 110 HBA is a single-channel HBA in a low-profile PCI card form-factor that adapts to either standard height or low-profile server slots.

The Emulex AutoPilot Manager™ utility software provides a simple configuration and management tool for the NetWin 110 HBA tailored specifically for SMB system administrators who are unfamiliar with detailed SAN terminology and don’t require the multitude of settings that are required in large enterprise installations. Users can easily monitor and perform any necessary maintenance on NetWin 110 HBAs by clicking the AutoPilot Manager icon, which is installed automatically during the HBA installation.
