Product Description
The HP AK344AHP, also known as the StorageWorks 81Q, is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to facilitate robust connectivity between servers and Storage Area Networks (SANs). It operates at a data transfer rate of 8 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) per port, ensuring rapid access to storage resources critical for demanding enterprise applications. The adapter features a single Fibre Channel port, utilizing short wave optics for its physical connection. Connectivity to the server is established via a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 x8 interface. This interface provides ample bandwidth to support the 8Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput for storage I/O operations. The PCIe 2.0 standard offers a significant improvement over previous generations, making it well-suited for high-demand storage environments where performance is paramount. This HBA is an essential component for building scalable and reliable storage infrastructures. It enables servers to connect to shared storage arrays, facilitating data consolidation, high availability, and efficient data management. The HP AK344AHP is engineered for enterprise-grade reliability, ensuring consistent performance and minimizing the risk of data access interruptions in mission-critical environments.
