Adapters

HPE Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) are dual port adapters that provide Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity over 10 GbE/25 GbE using both Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) standards. By consolidating Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel onto a converged adapter, HPE CNAs reduce the number of separate adapters and cables required for your data center and also reduce operational, power, and cooling costs while preserving existing Ethernet and Fibre Channel infrastructure. HPE CNAs have also been thoroughly tested with HPE ProLiant servers and HPE Top of Rack (ToR) switches to help ensure a better HPE FCoE solution for your data center.

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.

Are you looking for a 4 port 1GbE adapter for your HPE ProLiant Server?

The HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port FLR-SFP+ I350-T4V2 Adapter features the next generation of Ethernet integration offering in a single chip solution on a FlexibleLOM form factor, further reducing power requirements for 4 ports of 1 Gb Ethernet. The adapter is the PCI Express 2.1 x4 based on the latest Intel Ethernet Controller I350 designed for use with select HPE ProLiant rack and scalable servers. Its FlexibleLOM form factor means customers now have a choice to meet growing infrastructure needs. It supports advanced features such as Large Send offload capability, TCP checksum and segmentation, VLAN tagging, MSI-X, Jumbo frames, IEEE 1588, and virtualization features such as Intel Virtualization Technology for Connectivity, VMware NetQueue, Microsoft VMQ and WOL, and power management technologies like Energy Efficient Ethernet.

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.

Do you want flexibility while being efficient? The HPE Synergy 4820C 10/20/25Gb Converged Network Adapter provides a path for 10G today and up to 25Gb tomorrow for Financial, trading, Telco and cloud service providers. This adapter converges Ethernet and FCoE onto a single connection simplifying hardware and reducing costs. Pairing with the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Synergy Switch solution, this adapter provides high throughput and low latency to implement intelligent and flexible networks connecting the server to the switch.

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.
