HPE 152916-001 Short Wave Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter

Product Description

The HPE 152916-001 represents a Short Wave Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) intended for integration into HPE server environments. This type of adapter is fundamental for establishing a connection between servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs), enabling high-speed and reliable data access to storage resources. The 'Short Wave' designation typically refers to the optical transceiver used, indicating its suitability for shorter distances within a data center, often utilizing multi-mode fiber optic cables. While specific port count and speed details are not fully elaborated in the title, HBAs of this nature generally provide robust connectivity for enterprise storage solutions. They are designed to handle the demands of mission-critical applications that require consistent and efficient data transfer. The adapter adheres to standard Fibre Channel protocols, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of SAN components and storage devices. Its primary function is to offload storage traffic from the server's main CPU, thereby improving overall system performance. This adapter is a key component for organizations that rely on Fibre Channel technology for their storage infrastructure. It ensures that servers can communicate effectively with storage arrays, facilitating operations such as data backups, application data access, and high-availability configurations. The HPE 152916-001 is a testament to the enduring importance of Fibre Channel in enterprise data centers for reliable and high-performance storage connectivity.
