Product Description
The HP H05526-000 is a single-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for servers equipped with standard PCI slots. This adapter serves as the interface between the server's system bus and the Fibre Channel network, allowing for communication with Storage Area Networks (SANs). Its primary function is to provide a dedicated, high-speed channel for data transfer between the server and storage devices, bypassing the server's main CPU for many I/O operations. With one Fibre Channel port, this HBA is suitable for servers that require a single connection to a SAN, perhaps for boot-from-SAN configurations, access to shared file systems, or as a secondary storage connection. The PCI interface, while older than PCI-X or PCIe, still offers sufficient bandwidth for many SAN applications, especially in environments where extreme performance is not the primary requirement. The adapter ensures reliable data transmission and helps offload I/O processing from the server's CPU. The H05526-000 part number from HP indicates a specific model designed for compatibility and performance within HP server platforms. It represents a cost-effective solution for adding Fibre Channel connectivity to servers that may not have integrated options or require an additional port. This adapter is a fundamental component for enabling servers to leverage the benefits of SAN technology, such as centralized storage management and improved data availability.
