379585-001 - HP Fibre Channel Interface Controller Card for StorageWorks MSL6000

Description

The HP 379585-001 is a 4 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fibre Channel Controller, part of the HP StorageWorks family. This Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is engineered to provide robust and high-speed connectivity between servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). It serves as a critical link, enabling servers to communicate efficiently with storage devices like disk arrays and tape libraries over a dedicated SAN infrastructure. Operating at 4Gb/s, this controller offers significantly higher bandwidth compared to its 2Gb/s predecessors, making it suitable for more demanding storage applications and environments. It utilizes the PCI-X interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of HP server models that support this bus architecture. The HBA is designed to handle high volumes of I/O traffic with low latency, crucial for performance-sensitive applications. As a key component in enterprise storage solutions, the HP 379585-001 facilitates efficient data access, enhances storage scalability, and contributes to the overall reliability of the storage infrastructure. It is an essential part for organizations looking to leverage the benefits of Fibre Channel technology for their critical data storage needs.
