Adapters

Are you looking for an upgrade path to improve Storage Area Network performance for your ProLiant servers?

The HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) provides significant I/O performance and security benefits over existing 16 Gb SAN solutions. Even if the SN1610 is introduced into a new ProLiant server, the Fibre Channel standard enables backward compatibility to 16 Gb infrastructure. Additionally, the HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel HBA is forward compatible to 64 Gb and future speeds. The exponential effect of newer servers and infrastructure helps accelerate databases, host more virtual machines, support emerging technologies such as NVMe, and reduce total cost of ownership. The HBA delivers better business outcomes across multiple industry verticals that rely on high-performance, data-intensive, and reliable connectivity from servers to storage.

Is your remote office, department or company looking to consolidate data spread across multiple HPE ProLiant servers into a highly reliable and affordable SAN?
There are many benefits to a consolidated storage strategy. The HPE SN1100Q 16Gb Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) build a Fibre Channel connection when installed into an HPE ProLiant server and cabled to a switch and storage device.
Multiple physical HPE ProLiant servers and/or virtual servers can be routed using a Fibre Channel switch to an HPE storage array such as the HPE MSA, HPE Nimble Storage or HPE Alletra storage devices. This level of consolidation concentrates storage management on one storage device and provides an equally powerful and reliable connection for each server and its applications. Additionally, an onsite data protection device such as a disk or tape backup can leverage the same Fibre Channel infrastructure helping eliminate slow over-the-network backups.

Is your data center poised to take the 16 Gb step in Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity?

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 performance bottlenecks. The FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance.

The HPE SN1200E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver the high bandwidth, low latency and high IOPs to meet any application requirements, from online transaction processing or data warehousing to backup/restore and OpenStack Cinder block storage.

Supporting higher virtual machine density on powerful host servers, the SN1200E 16Gb HBAs delivers increased ROI on enabling more applications and virtual machines to run on a single server and I/O port without impacting SLAs. The 16 Gb FC HBA is backward compatible with 8 and 4 Gb FC storage networks to protect legacy investments.

Need a low cost, low power 1GbE adapter for your HPE ProLiant server?

The HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T I350-T4V2 Adapter features a single chip solution, further reducing power requirements for 4 ports of 1 Gb Ethernet. The HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port BASE-T I350-T4V2 Adapter is PCI Express 2.1 x4 based on the latest Intel Ethernet Controller I350 designed for use with select HPE ProLiant rack, tower and density optimized servers.

Are you looking for extremely high-bandwidth and very low latency communications for your HPE Apollo System and HPE ProLiant DL rack mount server families?

The HPE HDR InfiniBand and Ethernet adapters are designed for customers who deploy high performance computing (HPC) systems with their HPE ProLiant XL and HPE ProLiant DL Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers in the data center. The HPE InfiniBand HDR/HDR100 and Ethernet adapters are available as stand up cards or in the OCP 3.0 form factor, equipped with 1 port or 2 ports. Combined with HDR InfiniBand switches, they deliver low latency and up to 200Gbps bandwidth, ideal for performance-driven server and storage clustering applications in HPC and enterprise data centers.

When server infrastructure may be limiting the performance of the OLTP and database operations, what server upgrades are necessary to address potential performance bottlenecks and achieve more effective results?
The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. It supports HPE ProLiant, HPE Alletra Storage servers, and HPE Cray / HPE Superdome servers in a Fibre Channel SAN. Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1700E FC HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 64GFC. It provides seamless backward compatibility to 32GFC and 16GFC networks. When using storage-intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 64GFC infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.

Are you looking for an easy and cost effective transition to 10GBASE-T with enhanced security features? The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port BCM957416 Adapters utilize CAT 6A cabling with distances up to 100 meters and is backward compatible to existing 1GBASE-T infrastructure. This allows quick and easy incremental improvement of network speed without either changing the cables or major upgrade of equipment. These adapters help prevent, detect and recover from cyber attacks by protecting applications, data and server infrastructure by authenticating digitally signed firmware via a Root of Trust architecture. In addition, they offer Secure Boot, Device-level Firewall and other advanced security features.
