Product Description
The HP 245299-B21 StorageWorks FCA2101 is a single-port Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to connect servers to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter operates at 2Gb/s, offering a solid level of performance for enterprise storage access during its era. The single-port design makes it a cost-effective solution for servers that require basic connectivity to a SAN without the need for dual-port redundancy or increased bandwidth aggregation. Utilizing a standard PCI interface, the FCA2101 is compatible with a wide range of servers that feature PCI slots. While PCI is an older standard compared to PCI-X or PCIe, it was sufficient for many 2Gb/s Fibre Channel applications. This HBA enables servers to communicate with Fibre Channel switches and storage devices, facilitating data storage and retrieval for critical business applications. The HP 245299-B21 is a reliable component for establishing a connection to a SAN. It is suitable for environments where a single, dependable link to storage is required, such as in smaller deployments or as a secondary HBA in a server. Its primary function is to translate data between the server's bus and the Fibre Channel protocol, ensuring efficient data transfer to and from storage resources.
