AB379-69001 - HP Dual-Port Fiber Channel 4Gb/s PCI-X Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HPE AB379-69001 StorageWorks Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a high-performance connectivity solution designed to integrate servers into Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). With its dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, it offers substantial bandwidth for demanding storage I/O operations, enabling faster data access and improved application performance. The adapter supports multi-mode Fibre Channel optics, providing flexibility in network configuration and cable management. Built on the PCI-X bus architecture and supporting 64-bit operation at 266MHz, this HBA is optimized for servers that utilize this high-speed expansion slot. PCI-X offers significantly higher throughput than standard PCI, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive tasks like those found in SAN environments. The dual-port design enhances redundancy and availability, allowing for failover configurations to ensure continuous access to storage resources. This HBA is an essential component for enterprise environments requiring robust and high-speed connectivity to storage arrays. It facilitates efficient data transfer for applications such as databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. The HPE AB379-69001 ensures reliable and fast communication between servers and storage, contributing to the overall performance and resilience of the IT infrastructure.
