Product Description
The HPE AB379B, a key component within the StorageWorks family, is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter engineered to facilitate robust connections to Fibre Channel storage networks. This adapter leverages the advanced capabilities of the PCI-X interface, specifically operating at 64-bit width and a 266MHz clock speed, which were hallmarks of high-throughput computing environments. Its primary function is to bridge servers to Storage Area Networks (SANs), enabling efficient and reliable access to shared storage resources. Equipped with two 4Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, the AB379B provides significant bandwidth for demanding storage applications. The 'Multi-Mode' designation indicates that it is designed to work with multi-mode fiber optic cables and transceivers, typically used for shorter to medium distances within a data center. This configuration is crucial for environments where high availability and data integrity are paramount, such as in enterprise-level database operations, virtualization platforms, and large-scale data processing. This HBA is an essential upgrade or replacement part for servers requiring high-speed, low-latency access to SAN storage. Its PCI-X 2.0 compliance ensures compatibility with a wide range of enterprise-grade servers that feature this bus architecture. The dual-port design also offers redundancy and load balancing capabilities, enhancing the resilience and performance of the storage infrastructure.
