HPE 379047-001 StorageWorks 1 x Port 2GB 64-Bit 133MHz FC PCI-X HBA

Product Description

The HPE 379047-001 is a dedicated Host Bus Adapter (HBA) from the HPE StorageWorks family, designed to provide a high-performance link between servers and Fibre Channel storage networks. This adapter features a single Fibre Channel port capable of operating at 2 Gigabits per second (2GB/s), ensuring efficient data transfer for storage-intensive applications. Its robust design makes it suitable for enterprise environments that require reliable and fast access to storage area networks (SANs). The adapter utilizes a 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X interface, which was a standard for high-bandwidth expansion slots in servers of its era. This interface provides sufficient bandwidth to support the 2GB/s Fibre Channel port, enabling smooth and uninterrupted data flow to and from storage devices. The PCI-X architecture is known for its performance and compatibility with older server systems that may not support newer PCI Express interfaces. By connecting servers to Fibre Channel SANs, the HPE 379047-001 facilitates centralized storage management, improved data availability, and enhanced application performance. It is an integral component for organizations looking to leverage the benefits of SAN technology, such as scalability, redundancy, and efficient resource utilization. This HBA is a reliable choice for environments that depend on consistent and high-speed storage access.
