Product Description
The HP 5697-3645 is a critical component for expanding the connectivity of HP 3PAR StoreServ 8000 storage systems. This 4-port 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is engineered to provide high-performance, reliable connections to Storage Area Networks (SANs). With four independent 16Gb FC ports, it offers significant bandwidth and the ability to connect to multiple SAN fabric switches, enhancing both performance and redundancy for mission-critical storage environments. This HBA leverages the robust and mature Fibre Channel protocol, known for its efficiency and reliability in enterprise storage networking. Each of the four ports operates at a blazing 16Gbps, ensuring that the storage system can keep pace with the demands of high-transaction workloads. The dual-port design inherent in having four ports allows for active-active or active-passive configurations, providing failover capabilities and ensuring continuous data access even in the event of a port or fabric failure. Designed specifically for the HP 3PAR StoreServ 8000 series, the 5697-3645 ensures seamless integration and optimal performance. It utilizes a standard PCI Express interface for connection to the storage controller. The hot-pluggable nature of the adapter allows for replacement or addition without requiring the storage system to be powered down, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance procedures. This adapter is essential for organizations looking to maximize the performance and availability of their 3PAR storage infrastructure.
