- The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the bandwidth of 16 Gb FC HBAs.
- The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters supports for N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) and industry standards-based Class-specific control (CS_CTL), provides end-to-end quality of service (QoS).
- The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters allows more data to be moved per watt of power consumed vs. earlier FC generations, improving the power to performance ratio by over 30%.
- The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters includes PCIe 3.0 and increases interconnect performance bandwidth by 2x compared to PCIe 2.0.
The HPE 32GB Host Bus Adapters bring datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the bandwidth performance 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.
