309266-001 - HP Dual Channel 2Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP 309266-001 is a high-performance Dual Channel Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for enterprise-level storage area network (SAN) connectivity. This adapter operates at a rapid 2 Gigabytes per second (GB/s) per channel, providing substantial bandwidth for demanding storage applications. It connects to the server via a 64-bit PCI-X bus running at 66 MHz, ensuring a high-speed and reliable link to the host system. This HBA's dual-channel design offers significant advantages for SAN environments. It allows for simultaneous connections to two separate Fibre Channel networks or storage controllers, enhancing both performance through load balancing and availability through redundancy. If one path fails, the other can continue to provide access to storage, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity. The 2GB/s speed per channel is crucial for high-throughput storage operations. As a critical component in SAN infrastructure, the HP 309266-001 facilitates efficient data transfer between servers and storage arrays. It is engineered for reliability and performance, meeting the stringent requirements of enterprise data centers. This adapter is essential for organizations looking to build or upgrade their SANs with robust and high-speed connectivity solutions, ensuring optimal performance for critical applications and data access.
