- High link speed allows larger data block sizes to be moved in less time resulting in improved application performance
- Ideal for high density server virtualization environments
- Enables more applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fiber Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment
- Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE Integrity servers into storage and networking environments
- Optimal for connecting to HPE's 16Gb FC edge/core network switches
- Power savings result in lower operating expenditure
The HPE Integrity 16Gb Host Bus Adapter is designed to support Integrity Servers with PCI-Express I/O slots to connect to HPE Storage Arrays using the 16/8/4 Gb Fiber Channel protocol. The HPE Integrity 16Gb Host Bus Adapter brings datacenter infrastructure components to a high level of performance and efficiency. A 16Gb FC HBA is compatible with 8 and 4 Gb storage networks. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 16 Gb infrastructu re enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with great virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the 16Gb HBA enables more applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fiber Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment.
