HP 584776-001/LP StorageWorks 81Q 1-Port Fibre Channel 8Gb/s PCI Express 2.0 x8 Short Wave Host Bus ...

Product Description

The HP 584776-001/LP, a member of the HP StorageWorks product line, is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide robust connectivity between servers and Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter is equipped with a single 8Gb/s Fibre Channel port, which is essential for delivering high-speed data transfers and low-latency access to storage resources. The 8Gb/s capability is critical for supporting demanding enterprise workloads, including databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing environments, ensuring that storage operations are not hindered by network limitations. Featuring a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, this HBA leverages the high bandwidth provided by the PCIe standard to ensure optimal performance. The PCIe 2.0 specification offers enhanced data throughput and efficiency, while the x8 lane configuration provides ample capacity for the adapter to handle intensive I/O operations and high volumes of data traffic without performance degradation. This particular model is designed for short wave optics, typically utilizing an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver, which allows for efficient data transmission over moderate distances within a data center environment. The 'LP' designation indicates that it is a Low Profile card, making it suitable for installation in compact server chassis that may have space constraints. The HP 584776-001/LP is a reliable and efficient component for building and expanding enterprise-grade storage infrastructures.
