HPE SN1610E 32Gb 1-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter R2J62A

HPE SN1610E 32Gb 1‑port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter R2J62A When your environment has multiple workloads across multiple physical servers, how will you optimize your data? The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is the server connection to the Storage Area Network (SAN). Database applications, high volume virtual server configurations and traditional data protection benefit from high bandwidth, low latency, and high I/Os delivered on a SAN. 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 operation gridlocks. The FC host bus adapter (HBA) is a critical element of this storage network to improve storage performance. The HBA offers flexibility and investment protection by supporting two generations of older infrastructure like FC Switches and Directors and two generations of newer infrastructure. This level of investment protection is critical when the buying cycles of servers and storage differ. Features: New HPE SN1620E 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter. Factory installed SPDM certificate that authenticates the adapter is a valid, trusted device on the PCI bus as verified by the ProLiant management utility—HPE iLO. Post-quantum cryptography hardware feature to enhance the encryption algorithm generated by the adapter to thwart hacking attempts by future, more powerful quantum computers. End-to-end data encryption feature where this HBA can encrypt data in flight to the target device (storage array) helping eliminate the licensing of application-based encryption. Higher Performance 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter delivers twice the bandwidth of 16 Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters while being backward compatible with 16 Gb and 8 Gb FC environments and forward compatible to 64 Gb FC. The 32 Gb HBA family is compatible with existing storage networking including all 32 Gb Fibre Channel switches and directors plus newer more powerful infrastructure—64 Gb Fibre Channel switches and directors. HBA and Switches/Directors also leverage the FC-NVMe protocol for lower latency. Higher performance with existing server investments when compared to the 16Gb FC adapters; customers should strive to 'performance match' their infrastructure end-to-end but they also have the option to mix and match as driven by their buying cycles. Security-Enhanced 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter A factory-installed certificate assigned and unique to the FC HBA model; the certificate authenticates the adapter is a valid, trusted device on the PCI bus as verified by the HPE ProLiant management utility—HPE iLO. Customers can be more confident that the PCI device is authentic. With the advent of more powerful quantum computers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise is taking preventative actions to enhance encryption algorithms generated by the adapter. Customers benefit knowing that products purchased today will not be vulnerable to attacks perpetuated by future quantum technology. The HPE SN1620E encrypts data in flight to the target device (storage array) by implementing the latest Fibre Channel FC-SP3 standard and reduces the complexity and costs of application-based encryption. Unlike application encryption, hardware encryption enables data to be deduped and compression. Increased Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and Database Performance The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter connects the HPE ProLiant to storage networking and centralized to the high performance HPE storage platform. Databases are structured data that are best served by block storage devices like Fibre Channel HBAs, Fibre Channel switches, and Fibre Channel SAN storage. Combine a high performing ProLiant server with a high performance FC HBA to drive database I/Os. High levels of bandwidth, I/Os and low latency are paramount to respond time in multiple applications supported by database technology. The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter offers one of the highest levels of performance. Enhanced Features The HPE SN1620E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed to support emerging NVM Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel storage network. Provides latest security features that averts unauthorized access to the HBA firmware. T10 Protection Information (T10-PI) data integrity with high performance hardware offload provides data protection from the server to the storage array.
