Product Description
The HP AE312AR FC1242SR Host Bus Adapter is a high-performance networking component designed for enterprise storage area networks (SANs). It features two Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at a data transfer rate of 4Gb/s, delivering substantial bandwidth for demanding applications and critical workloads. The adapter utilizes the PCI Express interface, which provides superior performance characteristics, including increased throughput and reduced latency, compared to older bus technologies. This dual-port configuration is crucial for environments that require high availability and fault tolerance in their storage infrastructure. By enabling connections to multiple SAN fabrics or switches, the FC1242SR ensures continuous data access even if one path or switch fails. This redundancy is vital for mission-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable. The HP AE312AR is optimized for integration with HP ProLiant servers, ensuring seamless compatibility and efficient operation. It is an essential component for businesses looking to build or upgrade their SAN infrastructure, providing a reliable and fast connection to storage arrays and supporting efficient data management for virtualized environments, databases, and other data-intensive workloads.
