Overview

HP StorageWorks 8Gb PCI-e FC HBAs

The HP StorageWorks 8Gb PCI-e Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb HBAs. An 8Gb FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2 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 8 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.

Finally, 8Gb PCI-e FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server.

What's New

  • HP StorageWorks 81B and 82B PCI-e Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters now support ProLiant G6 servers.
