HPE 82Q - host bus adapter - PCIe - 2 ports

The HP 8 GB PCIe FC host bus adapters are priced only slightly higher than equivalent 4 GB HBAs, yet, they have the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance. If you are using storage intensive applications, such as rich media, the increased performance of the 8 GB infrastructure allows you to store and retrieve critical information faster.¦The virtualization of servers has become an important capability for most datacenters. The ability to improve overall server utilization, resulting in significant cost savings, has made server virtualization a "must-have" for most enterprises. By having an HBA that supports and maximizes your server virtualization efforts, you are protecting your significant investments in virtualization technology.¦Since most of today's datacenters are required to be available 24 x 7, it is critical that infrastructure components have failover capabilities. By installing redundant HBAs into your servers, you can feel confident that your servers will remain connected to mission-critical stored data.¦Finally, today's enterprises are becoming more and more sensitive to the power consumption within the datacenter. The 8 GB PCIe FC host bus adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server.
