AH403A - HP LPe12002 LightPulse Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter 2 x PCI-Express 2.0 8GB/s

Description

The HP AH403A StorageWorks 82E is a high-performance 2-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for enterprise environments. This adapter utilizes the PCI Express (PCIe) x8 interface, offering a high-bandwidth connection to servers for seamless integration into Storage Area Networks (SANs). Its low-profile form factor makes it suitable for installation in a wide range of servers, including those with limited internal space, such as blade servers or compact rackmount systems. With two 8Gb Fibre Channel ports, the AH403A provides robust connectivity and redundancy for critical storage applications. The 8Gbps speed ensures high throughput and low latency, which is essential for demanding workloads like databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. The adapter supports advanced features such as N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), enhancing SAN scalability and management by allowing multiple virtual WWNs to share a single physical port. Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, the HP AH403A is hot-pluggable and hot-swappable, allowing for installation or removal without powering down the server. It is backward compatible with 4Gb and 2Gb Fibre Channel, providing flexibility in mixed-speed SAN environments. This HBA is an integral component for servers connecting to HP StorageWorks solutions, ensuring optimal performance and connectivity within the SAN infrastructure.
