The HP 656452-001 QMH2572 8GB Fibre Channel Mezzanine Host Bus Adapter is a hardware device that provides connectivity between a server and a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). In this article, we will explain what a Fibre Channel Mezzanine Host Bus Adapter is, what the HP 656452-001 QMH2572 model offers, and how it can benefit your data center.
Fibre Channel Mezzanine Host Bus AdapterA Fibre Channel Mezzanine Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a type of hardware device that connects a server to a Fibre Channel SAN. The HBA acts as an interface between the server's bus and the SAN's Fibre Channel fabric, allowing the server to access storage devices and share data across the network.
A mezzanine HBA is designed to fit into a specific slot on the motherboard of a server or blade enclosure. It provides a high-speed Fibre Channel connection to the SAN without using up a valuable PCIe slot that could be used for other expansion cards.
The HP 656452-001 QMH2572 ModelThe HP 656452-001 QMH2572 model is a Fibre Channel mezzanine HBA designed for use in HP ProLiant Gen8 and Gen9 blade servers. It supports a maximum transfer rate of 8 Gbps and has two Fibre Channel ports.
The QMH2572 is based on Emulex's LightPulse technology, which provides high-performance connectivity to SANs with advanced features such as virtualization, quality of service (QoS), and reliability.
The QMH2572 is compatible with a wide range of Fibre Channel SANs and storage devices, making it a versatile choice for data centers that use multiple vendors' products.
FeaturesThe HP 656452-001 QMH2572 model offers several features and benefits that make it a popular choice for data centers:
- High performance: The QMH2572 provides up to 8 Gbps of Fibre Channel bandwidth, making it suitable for high-performance applications such as virtualization, data backup, and data warehousing.
- Advanced virtualization features: The QMH2572 supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), which allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to share a single physical Fibre Channel port. This feature can reduce the number of HBAs required in a data center and improve overall SAN utilization.
- Quality of service (QoS): The QMH2572 supports QoS, which allows administrators to prioritize traffic on the SAN based on application requirements. This feature can improve the performance of critical applications and ensure that non-critical applications do not impact the overall SAN performance.
- Reliability: The QMH2572 has built-in features such as data integrity checks and error correction that help ensure data is transferred reliably between the server and the SAN. This can reduce the risk of data loss or corruption due to transmission errors.
- Ease of deployment: The QMH2572 is designed to be easy to install and configure. It comes with a user-friendly web-based management interface that allows administrators to monitor and configure the HBA from a remote location.
In summary, the HP 656452-001 QMH2572 8GB Fibre Channel Mezzanine Host Bus Adapter is a high-performance hardware device that provides connectivity between a server and a Fibre Channel SAN. It offers advanced features such as virtualization, QoS, and reliability, making it a popular choice for data centers that require high-performance and reliable SAN connectivity.
