The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E 8GB Dual-Port PCI-E X8 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a high-performance adapter used for connecting servers to storage area networks (SANs) over Fibre Channel (FC) technology. This article aims to explain in detail what the AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E is, what features it offers, and why it is an essential component in modern data center infrastructures.
What is a Host Bus Adapter (HBA)? A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a hardware device that enables communication between a server or workstation and a SAN. It acts as an interface between the server's operating system and the SAN, allowing data to be transferred between the two. An HBA connects to the server via a PCI Express (PCI-E) slot and to the SAN via a Fibre Channel (FC) port. The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E is a type of HBA designed for high-performance data centers.
FeaturesThe AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E offers a range of features that make it a valuable addition to any modern data center. These features include:
- Dual-Port Connectivity: The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E has dual-port connectivity, meaning that it can connect to two different SAN fabrics simultaneously. This provides redundancy in case of a failure in one of the SAN fabrics and improves overall system reliability.
- High-Speed Connectivity: The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E offers 8 Gb/s FC connectivity, which is significantly faster than previous generations of FC technology. This high-speed connectivity ensures that data can be transferred quickly and efficiently between the server and the SAN.
- PCI-E X8 Interface: The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E connects to the server via a PCI-E X8 interface. This interface provides a high-bandwidth connection between the HBA and the server, ensuring that data can be transferred quickly and efficiently.
- Standard Bracket: The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E comes with a standard bracket, which makes it easy to install in most server chassis. This bracket is compatible with most standard server configurations, which reduces installation time and ensures compatibility.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E is compatible with a range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. This cross-platform compatibility ensures that the HBA can be used in a range of different server environments, making it a versatile addition to any data center.
The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E offers a range of benefits that make it an essential component in modern data center infrastructures. These benefits include:
- High Performance: The AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E offers high-speed connectivity and dual-port connectivity, which ensures that data can be transferred quickly and efficiently. This high performance improves overall system efficiency and reduces latency, which is critical in high-performance computing environments.
- Reliability: The dual-port connectivity of the AJ763A HP Storageworks 82E provides redundancy in case of a failure in one of the SAN fabrics. This improves overall system reliability and ensures that critical data is always available.
