Product Description
The HP 3R-A3513-AA, identified as a StorageWorks FCA2257P, is a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide high-speed connectivity to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). It features a 2Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, which was a standard for enterprise storage connectivity, offering robust performance for data access and transfer between servers and storage devices. The adapter utilizes a PCI-X bus, specifically operating at 66MHz with 64-bit addressing, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of enterprise servers from its era. This HBA is crucial for environments that rely on SANs for centralized storage management, data redundancy, and high availability. By offloading storage traffic from the main server bus, it improves overall system performance and allows servers to access storage resources efficiently. The 2Gb/s speed, while lower than modern standards, was significant for its time and provided the necessary bandwidth for many critical business applications. As part of HP's StorageWorks line, the FCA2257P is built to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise data centers, emphasizing reliability and stability. It serves as a vital link in the storage infrastructure, enabling servers to communicate seamlessly with Fibre Channel switches and storage arrays, ensuring data integrity and consistent access for business-critical operations.
