AP770BR - HP StorageWorks 82B Dual Port 8GB Fiber Channel PCI Express Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HPE AP770BR Host Bus Adapter is a high-performance networking component specifically designed for HPE ProLiant Generation 8 servers, enabling robust connectivity to storage area networks (SANs). It features two Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at a data transfer rate of 8Gb/s, delivering substantial bandwidth for demanding enterprise applications and critical workloads. The adapter utilizes a PCI Express x8 (PCIe x8) interface, which provides significant throughput and low latency, ensuring efficient communication between the server and storage devices. This dual-port configuration is crucial for environments that require high availability and fault tolerance in their storage infrastructure. By enabling connections to multiple SAN fabrics or switches, the AP770BR ensures continuous data access even if one path or switch fails. This redundancy is vital for mission-critical applications where downtime is unacceptable. It also supports load balancing across both ports for increased aggregate throughput. The HPE AP770BR is optimized for seamless integration and maximum operational efficiency within the ProLiant Gen8 server ecosystem. It is an essential component for businesses looking to build or upgrade their SAN infrastructure, providing a reliable and fast connection to storage arrays and supporting efficient data management for virtualized environments, databases, and other data-intensive workloads. The adapter is also backward compatible with 4Gb/s and 2Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds.
