Host Bus AdapterA Host Bus Adapter is a hardware device that allows a computer to communicate with a storage device over a network. An HBA acts as an interface between the computer's CPU and the storage device's disk interface. The HBA takes data from the CPU and transmits it to the storage device, and vice versa. HBAs are commonly used in SANs, where multiple computers need to access shared storage.
Fibre ChannelFibre Channel is a high-speed network technology that is commonly used in SANs. Fibre Channel provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between servers and storage devices. Fibre Channel networks can transfer data at speeds of up to 128GB per second.
