Dell QLE2560-DELL 8 GB Single Channel Pci-e Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a device used to connect servers to storage area networks (SAN). It is a standard bracket card only, which means that it fits into a full-sized PCI Express slot in a computer. This device is designed to provide high-performance connectivity between servers and storage devices.
What is a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA)A Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a device that enables servers to connect to storage devices over Fibre Channel networks. Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology used to connect storage devices to servers. An HBA acts as an interface between the server and the Fibre Channel network, allowing the server to send and receive data to and from the storage devices.
What is PCIe?PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. It is used to connect various devices to a computer's motherboard, such as graphics cards, network adapters, and HBAs. PCIe provides faster data transfer rates than older bus standards like PCI and AGP, making it ideal for high-performance devices like Fibre Channel HBAs.
Single Channel vs. Multi-Channel HBAs An HBA can have one or more channels, which determines the number of simultaneous connections it can make to the Fibre Channel network. A single-channel HBA, like the Dell QLE2560-DELL, can only make one connection at a time. Multi-channel HBAs can make multiple connections simultaneously, which can improve performance in certain situations.
Why Choose the Dell QLE2560-DELL HBA? The Dell QLE2560-DELLHBA is an 8 GB single-channel PCIe Fibre Channel HBA. It is designed to provide high-performance connectivity between servers and storage devices. Here are some of the features that make it a good choice:
- High Performance: The Dell QLE2560-DELL HBA is designed to provide high performance, with a maximum throughput of 8 Gbps. This can help to improve the speed of data transfer between servers and storage devices, reducing the time it takes to access and manipulate data.
