Product Data Sheet / Brochure

The HP StoreFabric SN1000 16Gb Host Bus Adapters are designed to support ProLiant Servers with PCI-Express I/O slots to connect to
HP Storage Arrays using the 16/8/4 Gb Fibre Channel protocol.
The HP 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 Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and
a higher return on IT investment

HP SN1100E 16Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (C8R38A)
HP SN1100E 16Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (C8R39A)
Key Features and Benefits
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 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.
Support for greater
Server Virtualization
Ideal for high density server virtualization environments
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
