Product description
The HPE SN1000 16Gb Host Bus Adapters bring datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 8Gb HBAs. A 16Gb FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 8 and 4 Gb storage networks and will protect future investments. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 16 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the SN1000 16Gb HBAs enable 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.
Product features
- Performance
Delivers, up to six times the IOPS, twice the data throughput (MB/s) and cuts latency by half compared to 8Gb FC HBAs. Best Fiber Channel IOPS, latency and throughput performance enables increased application and database transactions per second, enables faster large block transfers and increases the number of VMs that can be supported per server. - Support for greater server virtualization
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 HPE ProLiant connectivity to storage and network
Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE ProLiant servers into storage and networking environments. Optimal for connecting to HPE's16Gb FC edge/core network switches. - Improved IOPS performance per watt
Power savings result in lower Operating expenditure.
