Description
HP StorageWorks 81B PCI-e Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter Dual Port delivers twice the performance of 4Gbps HBAs for enterprises looking for SAN connectivity solutions to have unmatched performance, reliability, and server utilization.
HP StorageWorks 8Gbps PCI-e Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gbps HBAs. An 8Gbps FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2Gbps storage networks and will protect future investments. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 8Gbps infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.
Finally, 8Gb PCI-e FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server.
-
Greater performance
The PCIe 8Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb HBAs. -
Positioned for the future
Moving to 8Gbps technology provides the infrastructure required for the more powerful servers and data intensive applications of the future. -
Enhanced for storage intensive applications
When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization and rich media, the improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data. -
Powered for virtualized servers
It is ideal for the implementation of virtual servers with the power to drive multiple virtual machines. -
N Port ID Virtualization support
Allow a single port to acquire multiple N Port IDs, eliminating the need for additional physical ports. -
Queue prioritization
Datacenter administrators do not need to concern themselves with multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict. -
Supports virtualized servers for overall effective server utilization
It is ideal for the implementation of virtual servers, with the capability for migrating guest Operating Systems. And (Qlogic) Functional Level Reset (FLR) provides the ability to reset a port in a dual port configuration without impact to the other port.
