313045-003 - HP StorageWorks FCA2404DC 2GB 64-Bit Dual Port Fibre Channel PCI-X Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP 313045-003, also known as the StorageWorks FCA2404DC, is a dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to connect servers to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter operates at 2Gb/s per port, providing high-speed access to shared storage resources. The PCI-X 64-bit interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of enterprise servers that utilize this bus architecture, offering robust performance for demanding storage applications. This HBA is a critical component for building scalable and reliable storage infrastructures. By enabling servers to communicate efficiently with SANs, it facilitates high-performance data access for applications such as databases, virtualization platforms, and high-transaction environments. The dual-port design offers redundancy, allowing for failover configurations to ensure continuous data availability in the event of a port or cable failure. The FCA2404DC represents a solid solution for organizations looking to leverage Fibre Channel technology for their storage needs. Its 2Gb/s speed was a significant performance level for its time, and the PCI-X 64-bit interface provided the necessary bandwidth for enterprise workloads. This adapter is essential for servers that require direct, high-speed access to enterprise-grade storage arrays.
