HPE 82E - Host bus adapter - PCIe 2.0 x4 / PCIe x8 - 8Gb Fibre Channel SFP+ x 2 - for Nimble Storage dHCI Large Solution with HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10; ProLiant DL380 Gen10
- The PCIe 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 4 Gb FC HBAs
- Moving to 8 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
- Ideal for the implementation of virtual servers with the power to drive multiple virtual machines
- Allows a single port to acquire multiple N Port IDs, eliminating the need for additional physical ports
- Datacenter administrators do not need to concern themselves with multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict
- Improves host utilization and enhances application performance
- HPE 8 Gb FC HBAs have unique features in support of "green" server technology
HPE PCIe 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4 Gb FC HBAs. An 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2 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 8 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Finally, PCIe 8Gb FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server.
