HP Q0L13-63001 SN1200E 1-Port 16Gb/s PCI Express 3.0 x8 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP SN1200E 16Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (SKU: Q0L13-63001) offers a robust single-port solution for connecting servers to Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). Utilizing the PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface, it delivers high bandwidth and low latency, ensuring efficient data transfer for demanding enterprise applications. This HBA is designed to meet the performance requirements of virtualization, databases, and other mission-critical workloads that rely on fast and reliable storage access. This adapter supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), a key feature for modern SANs that allows multiple logical N_Ports to share a single physical port. NPIV enhances scalability, simplifies management, and improves security by enabling unique World Wide Names (WWNs) for virtual machines or applications. The 16Gb/s speed provides a significant performance boost over previous generations, enabling faster application response times and higher I/O operations per second (IOPS). With backward compatibility for 8Gb/s Fibre Channel, the Q0L13-63001 ensures a smooth integration into existing infrastructure while providing the capability to leverage newer, faster storage networks. Its reliable design and advanced features make it a suitable choice for environments requiring consistent storage performance and data integrity. The adapter's efficient operation also helps to minimize CPU overhead on the host server.
