Description

The HP G417C-LP, a component of the StorageWorks line, is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to facilitate seamless connectivity between servers and Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter features a single 8Gb/s Fibre Channel port, which is crucial for delivering high-speed, low-latency access to storage devices. The 8Gb/s throughput is essential for modern data-intensive applications, including virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing, ensuring that storage I/O does not become a system bottleneck. Integrated with a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, the G417C-LP provides ample bandwidth to support the full capabilities of the 8Gb/s Fibre Channel connection. The PCIe 2.0 standard offers enhanced data transfer rates and improved efficiency over its predecessors, while the x8 lane configuration ensures that the adapter can handle demanding workloads and high volumes of I/O operations without compromise. This model is configured for short wave optics, typically requiring an SFP transceiver for connection to the SAN fabric, enabling efficient data transmission over moderate distances within a data center. The 'LP' suffix signifies its Low Profile form factor, making it compatible with a wider range of server chassis, including those with limited internal space. The HP G417C-LP is a reliable and efficient solution for building and expanding enterprise-level storage infrastructures.
