Product Description
The HPE 29-34402-01 is a Host Bus Adaptor (HBA) specifically engineered for high-performance connectivity within a Storage Area Network (SAN). Operating at a 33MHz Fibre Channel speed, which translates to approximately 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) per lane, this HBA provides a robust and reliable pathway for servers to access shared storage resources. The 'Short Wave' (SW) designation indicates the type of optical transceiver used, typically suited for shorter distances within a data center or campus environment. This HBA plays a critical role in enterprise storage architectures by enabling servers to communicate directly with storage devices over a dedicated Fibre Channel fabric. By offloading storage traffic from the main Ethernet network, it ensures consistent performance and low latency for critical applications that rely on fast and dependable access to data. The Fibre Channel protocol is known for its reliability, error checking, and efficient data transfer mechanisms, making it a preferred choice for mission-critical storage deployments. Designed to be installed in a server's expansion slot (commonly PCI or PCI-X, depending on the server generation), the 29-34402-01 HBA acts as the bridge between the server's internal system and the external SAN. Its primary function is to translate the server's data requests into Fibre Channel frames and manage the flow of data between the server and the storage arrays. This ensures seamless integration and optimal performance for storage-intensive workloads.
