QR558AR - HP StorageWorks SN1000E Single Port 16GB Fiber Channel PCI Express Host Bus Adapter

Description

The HPE QR558AR SN1000E is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) specifically designed to facilitate robust connectivity between HPE servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter is equipped with two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, enabling high-speed data transfer rates essential for demanding storage applications. The 16Gbps speed per port ensures that data can be accessed and transmitted with minimal latency, which is critical for applications such as virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing. Utilizing a PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 x8 interface, the SN1000E HBA provides ample bandwidth to support its dual 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring efficient communication with the server's motherboard. The adapter is designed for easy integration into HPE ProLiant servers, leveraging the PCIe slot for a direct and high-speed connection. It supports advanced features like N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which allows multiple logical N_Ports to share a single physical N_Port, enhancing SAN scalability and management efficiency. The HPE SN1000E HBA is built with reliability and manageability in mind, incorporating features that ensure data integrity and simplify administration. It is an integral component for organizations that rely on high-availability storage solutions, providing a stable and high-throughput link to their SAN infrastructure. The use of SFP+ transceivers for the Fibre Channel ports allows for flexibility in cabling and network configuration.
