415802-001 - HP 4GB Interface Controller for E2400

Description

The HP 415802-001 is a dedicated Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to provide 4Gbps connectivity for the HP StorageWorks E2400 SAN array. This controller serves as the crucial link between servers and the E2400 storage system, enabling high-speed data transfer essential for demanding enterprise applications. Its role is to manage the flow of data over the Fibre Channel fabric, ensuring reliable and efficient access to storage resources. By operating at 4Gbps, this controller offers significant bandwidth for I/O operations, supporting workloads such as virtualization, database management, and file serving. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the E2400 platform, optimizing performance and simplifying the management of storage networks. The HBA offloads complex I/O processing from the server's CPU, freeing up resources for application execution and enhancing overall system responsiveness. This specific model is tailored for the E2400, indicating a focus on compatibility and performance tuning for that particular storage enclosure. It is a key component for organizations looking to build or expand their SAN infrastructure with HP equipment, providing a robust and high-performance solution for data storage and retrieval. The 4Gbps speed was a standard for high-performance SANs during its relevant era, offering a substantial upgrade over older technologies.
