262661-B21 - HP M2402 2Gbps GBE Interconnect Dual Port Fibre Channel Module

Description

The HP 262661-B21 is a 2 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This controller is designed to provide high-speed connectivity between HP servers and Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). It acts as an interface, translating data requests between the server's internal bus and the Fibre Channel network, enabling efficient access to shared storage resources. With a data transfer rate of 2Gb/s per port, this HBA is suitable for environments requiring reliable and reasonably fast access to storage. It utilizes the PCI-X interface, which was common in servers of its era, ensuring compatibility with a range of HP server platforms. The controller is essential for building or expanding SAN infrastructure, allowing servers to connect to disk arrays, tape libraries, and other SAN-attached storage devices. This Fibre Channel controller is a key component for enterprise storage solutions that demand dedicated, high-performance connectivity to storage. It ensures data integrity and facilitates the consolidation of storage, offering benefits such as improved performance, scalability, and manageability for storage systems connected via Fibre Channel.
