Overview
The HP Integrity 16Gb Host Bus Adapter is designed to support Integrity Servers with PCI-Express I/O slots to connect to HP Storage Arrays using the 16/8/4 Gb Fiber Channel protocol. The HP Integrity 16Gb Host Bus Adapter brings datacenter infrastructure components to a high level of performance and efficiency. A 16Gb FC HBA is compatible with 8 and 4 Gb storage networks. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 16 Gb infrastructu re enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with great virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the 16Gb HBA enables more applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fiber Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment.
