HPE StoreFabric SN1600 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
The HPE StoreFabric 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed to support ProLiant Servers with PCI
-Express I/O slots
to connect to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Storage Arrays using the 32/16
/8 Gb Fibre Channel protocol.
The HPE
32GFC
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 16Gb HBAs at lower latency. A 32GFC HBA
purchased today is backward
compatible with 16Gb
and 8Gb storage networks and will protect future investments. When using storage intensive applications,
such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performa
nce of the 32GFC
infrastructure
enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine density a
nd
bandwidth requirements, the 32G
FC HBAs enable more applications and VMs to run on a single host server and Fibre Channel port,
resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment.
Enhanced diagnostics and orchestration capabilities make 32Gb
Fibre Channel adapters well suited for to deliver on SLA requirements and application performanc
e.
What's New
• Microsoft Windows Server 2016 support
Key Features and Benefits
Performance
Up to two ports of Gen6 FC delivers 1.6million
1
IOPS and 12,800MBps bandwidth across two 32GFC
ports.
Enhanced reliability, diagnostics, and accelerated deployment powered by Gen 6 Fibre Channel
ASIC
.
Advanced integration with HPE StoreFabric B
-series Gen 5 and Gen 6 fabrics to speed SAN deployment
and configuration, speed and simplify SAN diagnostics, improve SAN resiliency and Quality of Service
.
Best combination of Fibre 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
.
Reduced power
consumption
Latest generation technology saves power by pausing the SFP when activity is not present
Gbps per watt increased 100% providing better power consumption compared to previous generations
of Fibre Channel adapters.
Support for greater
Se
rver Virtualization
Higher bandwidth and ability to virtualize physical ports with QoS in the adapter, make these adapters
ideal for high density server virtualization environments for increased scalability.
Enables more
applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a
higher return on IT investment
Connectivity to HPE Server
and
Storage
Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for
