Introduction The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is an 8GB Dual Channel PCI-E 2.0 X4 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides high-speed connectivity for enterprise-level storage networks. In this article, we'll explain what each of these terms means and how this HBA can benefit your organization.
PCI-E 2.0 X4PCI-E stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, which is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. The number after the PCI-E (2.0 in this case) refers to the version of the standard. The higher the version number, the faster the data transfer rate.
The X4 in PCI-E 2.0 X4 refers to the number of lanes the HBA uses to communicate with the rest of the system. Each lane provides a certain amount of bandwidth, and more lanes mean higher bandwidth. X4 means that the HBA uses four lanes, which is a common configuration for high-speed data transfer.
Fibre ChannelFibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology used to connect servers to storage devices, such as hard drives, solid-state drives, and tape drives. Fibre Channel provides faster data transfer rates and greater reliability than other networking technologies, such as Ethernet.
Dual ChannelThe HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is a dual-channel HBA, which means it has two separate Fibre Channel ports. Each port can be used to connect to a separate storage device, providing redundancy and increased bandwidth.
8GBThe 8GB in the name of the HBA refers to the data transfer rate. Specifically, it refers to the maximum speed at which data can be transferred over each Fibre Channel port. 8GB is a very fast data transfer rate and is ideal for high-performance computing environments, such as those found in data centers.
Host Bus AdapterA Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a type of expansion card that connects a computer to a Fibre Channel network. The HBA is responsible for managing the communication between the computer and the storage devices on the network. The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is a high-quality HBA that is designed for enterprise-level storage networks.
Benefits of the HP 656912-001 LPE1205A
The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A provides several benefits for organizations that need high-speed storage connectivity. Here are some of the main benefits:
High-Speed Data Transfer
The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 8GB per second per Fibre Channel port. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations that need to transfer large amounts of data quickly, such as data centers or media companies.
Redundancy The dual-channel design of the HBA provides redundancy in case one of the Fibre Channel ports fails. This helps to ensure that data is always available and that there is no interruption in service.
Increased Bandwidth
The dual-channel design of the HBA also provides increased bandwidth for organizations that need to transfer large amounts of data simultaneously. With two separate ports, more data can be transferred at once, which can help to increase productivity and reduce wait times.
Reliability Fibre Channel is a reliable networking technology that is designed for high-availability environments. The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is a high-quality HBA that is built to last and provides a high level of reliability.
Compatibility The HP 656912-001 LPE1205A is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. This makes it a versatile choice for organizations that use different types of systems.
