Product Description
The HP FCA2355 is a robust dual-channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to deliver high-speed and reliable connectivity for enterprise storage systems. Each of its two Fibre Channel channels operates at a data transfer rate of 2Gb/s, providing significant bandwidth for accessing storage devices in a Storage Area Network (SAN). This performance level was considered high for its era, enabling efficient data throughput for demanding applications. Connectivity to the host server is established via a 64-bit PCI-X interface operating at 66MHz. This bus architecture was prevalent in high-performance servers, offering greater bandwidth compared to standard PCI slots, which is crucial for HBAs handling large volumes of I/O traffic. The combination of dual channels and a high-speed bus interface ensures that the FCA2355 can effectively manage concurrent I/O operations and serve multiple storage targets without becoming a bottleneck. This HBA is designed for environments requiring dependable access to storage, such as database servers, application servers, and storage arrays. Its dual-channel capability also offers a degree of redundancy; if one path to the storage fails, the other channel can maintain connectivity, ensuring business continuity. The HP FCA2355 represents a key component in building resilient and performant storage infrastructures within enterprise data centers.
