HPE AJ763BR StorageWorks 82E 2-Ports Fibre Channel 8Gb/s PCI Express x8 Low Profile Host Bus Adapter

Product Description

The HPE StorageWorks 82E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (SKU: AJ763BR) provides robust and reliable connectivity for enterprise storage area networks (SANs). This adapter features dual 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, enabling high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices. Its low-profile PCI Express x8 form factor makes it suitable for installation in slim or blade servers where space is limited, ensuring broad compatibility with various server chassis designs. Designed for demanding SAN environments, the 82E HBA supports key features such as N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which enhances scalability and management by allowing multiple logical N_Ports to share a single physical port. This is particularly beneficial in virtualized environments where efficient resource allocation and management are critical. The 8Gb/s speed offers significant performance improvements over older 4Gb/s or 2Gb/s solutions, reducing latency and increasing throughput for storage-intensive applications. With backward compatibility for lower Fibre Channel speeds (4Gb/s and 2Gb/s), the AJ763BR ensures a smooth transition and protects existing infrastructure investments. It is built with enterprise-grade reliability, featuring robust error detection and correction mechanisms to maintain data integrity. This HBA is an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance their storage connectivity with a dependable and high-performance solution.
