HP QW971-60001 StoreFabric SN1000Q 16GB 1-Port FC Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HP QW971-60001, part of the StoreFabric SN1000Q series, is a high-performance Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to deliver robust and efficient connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter is engineered to meet the demanding I/O requirements of modern data centers, supporting critical applications that rely on fast and reliable access to shared storage resources. Operating at a speed of 16Gb/s per port, the SN1000Q provides significant bandwidth, enabling rapid data transfers between servers and storage arrays. The single-port configuration is ideal for environments where dedicated, high-speed SAN connectivity is required without the need for multiple connections from a single card. Its integration into server systems is facilitated by a PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 x8 interface, which offers substantial throughput to complement the 16Gb/s FC speed, ensuring minimal latency and maximum performance. This HBA is crucial for environments utilizing SAN technology, such as enterprise databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. The QW971-60001 ensures data integrity and availability through the robust protocols inherent in Fibre Channel technology. Its compatibility with a wide range of servers and SAN infrastructure makes it a versatile component for upgrading or building out storage networks.
