Adapters

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

The explosive 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 SN1600E 32Gb Host Bus Adapter delivers the ultimate in high bandwidth, low latency and increased IOPs to meet enterprise application requirement, from online database transaction processing or data warehousing to backup/restore and OpenStack Cinder block storage.

Delivering twice the performance of current 16Gb HBAs, the SN1600E 32Gb FC HBA delivers better business outcomes across multiple industry verticals that rely on high performance, improved reliability Fibre Channel block storage in their storage infrastructures.

Are you looking for accelerating application workloads for the modern data center ecosystem?

The HPE SN1700E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. It supports HPE ProLiant and HPE  Apollo servers with PCI-Express I/O slots to connect to HPE storage all-flash and NVMe-based arrays using the 64/32/16 Gb Fibre Channel (GFC) protocol. Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1700E FC HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 64 GFC. It provides seamless backward compatibility to 32 GFC, 16 GFC, and 8 GFC networks. When using storage-intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 64 GFC infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.

The HPE SN1700Q 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) enable any HPE ProLiant server to share a highly resilient storage array such as the HPE Alletra Storage Array. Any HPE ProLiant with a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA can be configured to share storage. This type of design is a Storage Area Network (SAN). A FC Switch is used between the HPE ProLiant servers and the storage to direct data traffic to and from the server and storage.

A SAN is an excellent design for high availability, and high performance, using block-based design complementary to databases, online transaction processing, and enterprise resource processing. The SAN also enables different generations of FC products to interconnect allowing for phased upgrades or longer investment protection options.

Do you need a data-center-on-chip platform to deliver better performance for your HPC/edge environments?
The HPE Data Processing Unit is a cloud infrastructure processor that governs the offloading, acceleration, and isolation of tasks like networking, storage, security and management to improve efficiency and performance. This series features two default operating modes: DPU and SuperNIC. By leveraging DPU mode, a data center-to-business application separation is created, resulting in a zero trust infrastructure with customized operations and an overall reduction in the total cost of ownership. In SuperNIC mode, the DPU too runs as an enhanced solution for east to west traffic in GPU systems, enabling accelerated networking for AI computing. SuperNICs support workloads in power-efficient, low-profile designs and can provide superb AI workload efficiency through proven RoCE. Utilize the HPE Data Processing Unit for consistent and predictable performance for accelerating AI computing.

Are you looking for next-generation Fibre Channel (FC) adapter for the Modern Data Center?

The HPE SN1610E 32Gb FC Host Bus Adapters (HBA) are designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. Applications continue to grow in size and scale. To support them, enterprises are increasingly turning to new server technologies that contain hundreds of processor cores, as well as high-performance storage solutions, including low-latency Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe), and all-flash arrays (AFAs). NVMe can significantly increase the performance of storage area networks (SANs), making the selection of high-speed networking technology the critical element for achieving maximum system-wide performance.

Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1610E FC HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 32 Gigabit Fiber Channel (GFC). It provides seamless backward compatibility to 16 GFC and 8 GFC networks.
