Description
The HPE HWP-AE311A, identified by its model number FC1142SR, is a high-performance single-port Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This adapter is engineered to provide servers with a direct and high-speed connection to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). With a data transfer rate of 4Gb/s, it offers substantial bandwidth for accessing storage resources, making it suitable for demanding enterprise applications that require fast and reliable data throughput. The adapter utilizes a PCI-Express x4 (PCIe x4) interface, which provides a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard. This modern interface ensures efficient communication between the HBA and the server's CPU, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing storage performance. The single-port design is ideal for servers where a dedicated, high-speed connection to a SAN is required, and where advanced multipathing configurations might be handled by other components or software. As a Fibre Channel HBA, the HPE FC1142SR adheres to industry-standard protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of SAN infrastructure, including switches, directors, and storage arrays from various vendors. It is a critical component for environments relying on centralized storage, offering the speed, reliability, and connectivity needed for mission-critical applications and data-intensive workloads.
