Product Description
The HP SK363A, identified by the model FC2242SR, is a dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide high-speed connectivity between servers and Storage Area Networks (SANs). Each of the two Fibre Channel ports operates at a maximum speed of 4 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), offering significant bandwidth for demanding storage I/O operations. This makes it suitable for enterprise environments where fast and reliable access to shared storage is critical. Utilizing the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, this HBA ensures efficient data transfer between the server's CPU and the SAN. The PCIe bus provides ample bandwidth to support the aggregate throughput of both 4Gb/s FC ports, minimizing latency and maximizing storage performance. This adapter is a key component for servers running applications that require high-performance, low-latency access to storage, such as databases, virtualization platforms, and high-transaction environments. The HP FC2242SR HBA is built to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise data centers, offering reliability and stability. It allows servers to seamlessly integrate into existing Fibre Channel SAN infrastructures, enabling efficient data sharing and management. Proper driver installation and configuration are necessary to unlock its full potential and ensure optimal performance within the SAN environment.
