Is your data center poised to take the 16 Gb step in Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity? The growth in enterprise flash storage and the deployment of servers with multi-core processors is driving the need for high performance storage networking to prevent application performance bottlenecks. The FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance. The HPE StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver the high bandwidth, low latency and high IOPs to meet any application requirements, from online transaction processing or data warehousing to backup/restore and OpenStack Cinder block storage. Supporting higher virtual machine density on powerful host servers, the SN1200E 16Gb HBAs delivers increased ROI on enabling more applications and virtual machines to run on a single server and I/O port without impacting SLAs. The 16 Gb FC HBA is backward compatible with 8 and 4 Gb FC storage networks to protect legacy investments.

What's New

16 Gb Single Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

16 Gb Dual Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

Features

The High Performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters

The HPE StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 8Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) while being backward compatible with 8 and 4Gb FC environment.

Moving to 16 Gb technology provides the infrastructure required for the more powerful servers and data intensive applications of the future.

When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization and rich media, the improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data.

Faster Flash

The HPE StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Host Bus Adapters accelerate the time to business insight by completing data warehousing queries faster than 8 Gb FC HBAs.

Meets the massive bandwidth requirements of flash storage arrays.

Increases the performance of flash-based storage by prioritizing mission critical traffic in congested networks with exclusive ExpressLane feature.

Better Virtualization

The HPE StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Host Bus Adapters provides near limitless scalability to support increased virtual machine (VM) density with 2x more on-chip resources and bandwidth than previous offerings.

Improves the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) end-user experience with low latency features providing noticeable improvements during boot storms (degradation of service that occurs when a significant number of end-users boot up within a very narrow time frame and overwhelm the network).

Simplifies management and installation with OneCommand Manager plugin for VMware® vCenter® server.

HPE StoreFabric SN1600 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
The HPE StoreFabric 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed to support ProLiant Servers with PCI-Express I/O slots to connect to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Storage Arrays using the 32/16/8 Gb Fibre Channel protocol.

The HPE 32GFC Host Bus Adapters bring datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the bandwidth performance of 16Gb HBAs at lower latency. A 32GFC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 16Gb and 8Gb storage networks and will protect future investments. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 32GFC infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the 32GFC HBAs enable more applications and VMs to run on a single host server and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment. Enhanced diagnostics and orchestration capabilities make 32Gb Fibre Channel adapters well suited for to deliver on SLA requirements and application performance.

What's New
HPE ProLiant Gen10 Servers support

Key Features and Benefits
Performance

• Up to two ports of Gen6 FC delivers 1.6 million1 IOPS and 12,800MBps bandwidth across two 32GFC ports. Enhanced reliability, diagnostics, and accelerated deployment powered by Gen 6 Fibre Channel ASIC.
• Advanced integration with HPE StoreFabric B-series Gen 5 and Gen 6 fabrics to speed SAN deployment and configuration, speed and simplify SAN diagnostics, improve SAN resiliency and Quality of Service.
• Best combination of Fibre Channel IOPS, latency and throughput performance enables increased application and database transactions per second, enables faster large block transfers and increases the number of VMs that can be supported per server.

Reduced power consumption
Latest generation technology saves power by pausing the SFP when activity is not present Gbps per watt increased 100% providing better power consumption compared to previous generations of Fibre Channel adapters.

Support for greater Server Virtualization
Higher bandwidth and ability to virtualize physical ports with QoS in the adapter, make these adapters ideal for high density server virtualization environments for increased scalability. Enables more applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment.

Connectivity to HPE Server and Storage
Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE ProLiant servers into HPE Storage and networking environments.
