The HPE 16Gb Host Bus Adapters bring data center infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 8Gb HBAs at lower latency. A 16Gb FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 8 Gb and 4 Gb 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 16 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the 16Gb 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. The four port adapters are specially designed for PCIe slot constrained servers which run workloads that demand extremely high storage networking bandwidth.

What's New

• − FC-NVMe support in Windows, VMware and Linux OSes operating systems.

Key Features and Benefits

Performance

Delivers, up to three times the IOPS*, twice the data throughput (MB/s) and cuts latency by half compared to 8Gb FC HBAs

Best 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.

Notes: * The HPE SN1200E delivers up to 1.6 million IOPS on a single port or in aggregate across both ports

Support for greater Server Virtualization

Ideal for high density server virtualization environments

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.

Provides HPE ProLiant Connectivity to HPE Storage And Network

Robust interoperability testing

• − Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE ProLiant servers into HPE Storage and networking environments.
• − Optimal for connecting to The HPE 16Gb FC edge/core network switches.

Smart SAN support

Smart SAN is a protocol agnostic application embedded in SAN components that enables SCSI-attached Alletra/Primera/3PAR to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies in a SAN. HPE Smart SAN’s Target Driven Zoning enables you to configure zones accurately in minutes and not in hours and its automatic discovery mechanism creates a powerful platform which would enable real-time diagnostics with self-healing in the near future.

Express Lane prioritization

The SN1200E enables I/O prioritization of physical or virtual server to a LUN or a group of LUNs ensuring priority delivery in high-traffic or congested storage networks. Managed with the Emulex OneCommand management software downloadable from HPE Software Downloads

NVMe over Fibre Channel

The SN1200E & SN1100Q 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are NVMe-enabled to support emerging NVM Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel storage networks.

• − FC-NVMe support in Windows Server 2016 / 2019 with Native Multipathing (Asymmetric namespace access (ANA)) and Boot from SAN (BFS) for SN1100Q adapter
• − FC-NVMe support for ESX 7.0 U1, RHEL 8.3, RHEL 7.9, SLES 15 SP2 for SN1100Q adapter
• − Supports FC-NVMe-2 Sequence Level Error Recovery (SLER)
