Product Description

The HP AJ764B StorageWorks 82Q Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a high-performance networking component designed for enterprise-level Storage Area Network (SAN) deployments. Featuring two 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, this adapter enables servers to connect to SAN infrastructure with significant bandwidth, facilitating rapid data access and transfer. The 8Gb/s speed is crucial for demanding applications that require low latency and high throughput, such as large databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. Built on the PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, the 82Q HBA provides ample bandwidth to support its dual 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports without becoming a bottleneck. This ensures that the server can communicate efficiently with the SAN, maximizing the performance of both the server and the storage resources. The dual-port design also offers redundancy, allowing for failover configurations to maintain connectivity even if one path to the SAN fails. This HP StorageWorks adapter is engineered for reliability and performance in demanding enterprise environments. It supports the Fibre Channel protocol, which is the standard for high-speed SANs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of SAN switches and storage arrays. The AJ764B is an essential component for organizations looking to build or upgrade their SAN infrastructure, providing robust and high-speed connectivity for critical data.
