- The HPE SN1600E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed to support emerging NVM Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel storage network.
When your environment has multiple workloads across multiple physical servers, how will you optimize your data? The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is the server connection to the Storage Area Network (SAN). Database applications, high volume virtual server configurations and traditional data protection benefit from high bandwidth, low latency, and high I/Os delivered on a SAN. The growth in enterprise flash storage and the deployment of servers with multi-core processors is driving the need for high performance storage networking to prevent application operation gridlocks. The FC host bus adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance. The HBA offers flexibility and investment protection by supporting two generations of older infrastructure like FC Switches and Directors and two generations of newer infrastructure. This level of investment protection is critical when the buying cycles of servers and storage differ.
