HP LPE11002-LP FC2242SR 2-Ports Fibre Channel 4Gb/s PCI Express Low Profile Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP LPE11002-LP, also known as the FC2242SR, is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter engineered to provide robust connectivity for enterprise storage area networks (SANs). Featuring two 4Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, this adapter is capable of delivering significant bandwidth, crucial for demanding I/O operations in virtualized environments, database servers, and high-performance computing clusters. Its design prioritizes reliability and speed, ensuring that data can be accessed and transferred with minimal latency. The adapter utilizes the PCI Express interface, offering a scalable and high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard. The inclusion of a low-profile bracket makes it an ideal choice for blade servers and other compact server chassis where space is at a premium. This flexibility in form factor does not compromise its performance, allowing organizations to deploy high-speed SAN connectivity even in densely packed rack environments. It supports standard Fibre Channel protocols, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of SAN infrastructure components. With its dual-port architecture, the LPE11002-LP provides redundancy and load balancing capabilities, enhancing the availability and resilience of storage connections. This is critical for mission-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable. The adapter's ability to operate at 4Gb/s, with backward compatibility to 2Gb/s and 1Gb/s, ensures that it can be integrated into existing SANs while providing a clear upgrade path for future performance needs. It is a key component for building efficient and reliable storage solutions.
