HPE StorageWorks 82E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

The introduction of the HP StorageWorks PCIe 8Gb Fibre 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 4 Gb FC HBAs. An 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2 Gb 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 8 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Finally, PCIe 8Gb FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server.

• Fiber channel host bus adapter - Provides excessive data integrity by guaranteeing overlapping protection domains on both; the control and data paths
• Can connect up to 2 fiber channel peripherals
• PCI Express x8 interface provides enhanced bandwidth for the quick access of data by the operating system and applications
• The data speed of 8 Gbit/s maximizes system performance and saves time during critical tasks
