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 StoreFabric 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 StoreFabric 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.
The HPE StoreFabric SN1600E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters delivers twice the bandwidth of 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters while being backward compatible with 16 and 8 Gb FC environments.
The HPE StoreFabric SN1600E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters accelerate the time to business insight by completing data warehousing queries in 1/4th of the time (compared to 8 Gb FC HBA).
The HPE StoreFabric SN1600E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters delivers near limitless scalability to support increased VM density with 2X more on-chip resources and bandwidth than Gen5 Fibre Channel.
The HPE StoreFabric SN1600E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed to support emerging NVM Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel storage network.
