HPE 321835-B21 2 x Ports 2GB/s FC PCI-X HBA for ProLiant BL40p Server

Description

The HPE 321835-B21 is a dual-port Host Bus Adapter (HBA) specifically designed to provide high-speed Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity for HPE ProLiant BL40p servers. It features two Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at 2 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), enabling efficient and reliable communication with Storage Area Networks (SANs). This HBA utilizes a PCI-X interface, which was a common high-performance bus standard for servers during its era, offering greater bandwidth than standard PCI. The 2Gb/s speed per port ensures that the server can access storage resources quickly and with low latency, which is crucial for performance-sensitive applications and databases. The HPE 321835-B21 is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the ProLiant BL40p server platform, providing a robust solution for storage networking. It supports the Fibre Channel protocol, which is the industry standard for high-speed data transfer in SAN environments, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of storage devices and infrastructure. This HBA is essential for servers requiring direct, high-performance access to centralized storage.
