The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is a type of Host Bus Adapter (HBA) used in Fibre Channel networks. It is designed to improve the performance of Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs) by providing a high-speed connection between the server and the storage device. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the HP 656912-001 LPE1205A in detail.
Host Bus Adapter (HBA)A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a type of device that is used to connect a computer or server to a storage device or network. It is essentially a hardware interface that enables data transfer between the server and the storage device. In the case of Fibre Channel networks, an HBA is required to connect the server to the Fibre Channel storage devices.
Fibre ChannelFibre Channel is a high-speed network technology that is used for storage area networks (SANs). It provides a reliable and scalable solution for storage networks that require high throughput, low latency, and high availability. Fibre Channel networks use a serial data transfer technology that enables data transfer speeds of up to 16 Gbps.
Features of the HP 656912-001 LPE1205AThe HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is a high-performance HBA that is designed to provide a fast and reliable connection between the server and the Fibre Channel storage device. Some of the key features of this HBA include:
- Dual Channel The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A has dual channels, which means it can support two separate Fibre Channel connections simultaneously. This provides redundancy and improves the overall performance of the storage network.
- PCI-E 2.0 X4 Interface The HBA uses the PCI-E 2.0 X4 interface, which provides a high-speed connection between the server and the storage device. This interface is capable of providing a data transfer rate of up to 20 Gbps.
- 8 GB Memory The HBA has 8 GB of memory, which enables it to handle large amounts of data without any performance degradation. This makes it ideal for use in high-traffic storage networks.
- Full-height form factor The HBA comes in a full-height form factor, which means it is designed to fit into a full-height expansion slot in a server or workstation. This ensures that it is compatible with a wide range of server and workstation systems.
The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A provides several benefits to Fibre Channel storage networks, including:
- Improved Performance The HBA provides a high-speed connection between the server and the storage device, which improves the overall performance of the storage network. This enables faster data transfer rates and reduces latency, resulting in improved application performance.
- Increased Scalability The dual-channel design of the HBA provides redundancy and improves the scalability of the storage network. This enables the network to handle more data and users, making it ideal for use in large-scale storage networks.
- Enhanced Reliability The HBA is designed to provide a reliable and stable connection between the server and the storage device. This ensures that the storage network is always available and provides consistent performance, even in high-traffic environments.
- Easy Installation The HBA comes with all the necessary drivers and software, making it easy to install and configure. This reduces the time and effort required to set up the storage network, enabling administrators to focus on other tasks.
