HP 853011-001 QLE2692 SN1100Q 16Gb Dual Port FC Host Bus Adapter

Product Description

The HP 853011-001, featuring the QLogic QLE2692 controller and part of the StoreFabric SN1100Q series, is a high-performance 16Gb Dual Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This adapter is engineered to provide robust and high-speed connectivity between servers and storage area networks (SANs), essential for demanding enterprise workloads. The dual 16Gbps Fibre Channel ports offer significant bandwidth, ensuring rapid data access and transfer, which is critical for applications such as virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing. This HBA is designed for reliability and high availability. The dual-port architecture allows for redundancy, enabling seamless failover in the event of a port or cable failure, thus maintaining continuous data access and minimizing downtime. This feature is paramount for mission-critical environments where uninterrupted operation is a necessity. Utilizing a PCIe Gen3 x8 interface, the HP 853011-001 ensures a high-speed connection to the host server, maximizing the adapter's performance potential. It supports advanced features like N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which is crucial for efficient SAN management and for supporting multiple virtual machines or logical units from a single physical port. This makes the SN1100Q adapter a versatile and powerful component for modern, scalable data center infrastructures.
