HPE StoreFabric SN1600E - host bus adapter - PCIe 3.0 x8 - 32Gb Fibre Channel x 1

The HPE host bus adapters bring datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the bandwidth performance of 16 Gb HBAs at lower latency. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 32 Gb infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the 32 Gb HBAs enable more applications and VMs to run on a single host server and Fiber Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment. Applications that require high SLA and high performance are predicted to be the early adopters of high throughput benefits that 32 Gb Fiber Channel offers.
