Product Description

The HP 320101-001 is a component of the HP StorageWorks E1200-160 Network Storage Router, specifically featuring an Ultra-160 SCSI interface combined with Fibre Channel capabilities. This card is engineered to provide high-performance connectivity for Storage Area Networks (SANs), enabling efficient data transfer between servers and storage devices. Its dual interface support allows for integration into diverse storage infrastructures, bridging SCSI-based systems with the high-speed, low-latency benefits of Fibre Channel. This Fibre Channel card is crucial for environments requiring robust and scalable storage solutions. It facilitates the consolidation of storage resources, enabling multiple servers to access shared storage pools over a high-speed network. The Ultra-160 SCSI interface offers backward compatibility and high throughput for specific storage devices, while the Fibre Channel aspect ensures enterprise-grade performance for demanding applications and large data volumes. By integrating this card into the E1200-160 router, organizations can build sophisticated SANs that enhance data availability, improve storage utilization, and simplify storage management. It is particularly suited for data-intensive applications, virtualization environments, and high-availability clusters where reliable and fast access to storage is paramount. The combination of SCSI and Fibre Channel provides a versatile solution for modern data centers.
