AB378-60102 - HP Single-Port Fibre Channel 4Gb/s PCI-X Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP AB378-60102 is a single-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to provide robust and high-speed connectivity for servers within a Storage Area Network (SAN). This adapter is designed to facilitate efficient data transfer between servers and storage devices, ensuring reliable access to critical data. With its 4Gb/s Fibre Channel speed, it offers a significant performance upgrade for systems requiring fast and dependable storage I/O. This HBA utilizes a PCI-X 2.0 64-bit interface operating at a 266MHz bus speed, making it compatible with a wide range of enterprise servers that feature PCI-X expansion slots. The PCI-X architecture provides higher bandwidth compared to standard PCI, enabling the adapter to handle demanding workloads effectively. The AB378-60102 supports the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), which is the standard for data transmission in SANs, ensuring seamless integration with existing storage infrastructure. Furthermore, the HP AB378-60102 is backward compatible with 2Gb and 1Gb Fibre Channel speeds, offering flexibility for environments that may have a mix of SAN technologies. This backward compatibility ensures that the adapter can be deployed in various configurations without compromising existing investments. It is a reliable component for organizations looking to enhance their storage connectivity and ensure consistent data availability.
