HP P31338-001 StoreFabric Sn1100e Single Port 32GB FC PCI-E 3.0 HBA

Description

The HP P31338-001 is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) from the HPE StoreFabric SN1100E series, designed to provide robust connectivity between servers and Fibre Channel (FC) storage area networks (SANs). This specific model features a single port capable of operating at a blazing 32Gb Fibre Channel speed, offering exceptional bandwidth for demanding enterprise storage applications. The HBA utilizes a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, ensuring high throughput and low latency when communicating with the server's motherboard. This adapter is equipped with an SFP28 port, which is the standard for 32Gb Fibre Channel transceivers. It's important to note that the SFP28 transceiver itself is typically sold separately and must be chosen based on the required reach (e.g., short-wave or long-wave) and compatibility with the SAN infrastructure. The SN1100E series is known for its reliability, advanced features, and efficient performance, making it suitable for mission-critical environments. Designed for enterprise-level deployments, the P31338-001 HBA supports advanced features such as NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) and Fabric-based zoning, which are essential for managing and securing access to storage resources in complex SAN environments. Its high-speed capabilities make it ideal for applications like large-scale virtualization, high-performance databases, and big data analytics where rapid and reliable access to storage is paramount.
