The HP Store Fabric SN1000 16 Gb Host Bus Adapters are designed to support Pro Liant Servers with PCI-Express I/O slots to connect to HP Storage Arrays using the 16/8/4 Gb Fiber Channel protocol. The HP SN1000 16 Gb Host Bus Adapters bring datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance & efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb HBAs. A 16 Gb FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 8 & 4 Gb storage networks & 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 & retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine density & bandwidth requirements, the SN1000 16 Gb HBAs enable more applications & VMs to run on a single server & Fiber Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling & a higher return on IT investment. Features Performance Delivers, up to six times the IOPS, twice the data throughput (MB/s) & cuts latency by half compared to 8 Gb FC HBAs. Best Fiber Channel IOPS, latency & throughput performance enables increased application & database transactions per second, enables faster large block transfers & 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 & VMs to run on a single server & Fiber Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling & a higher return on IT investment. Provides HP Pro Liant connectivity to storage & network Provides an HP-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HP interoperability testing for connecting HP Pro Liant servers into storage & networking environments. Optimal for connecting to HP's 16 Gb FC edge/core network switches. enhanced IOPS performance per watt Power savings result in lower Operating expenditure.
