The HPE R2E09-63001 is a dual ports PCI-E SFP+ Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter that is used to connect servers to Fibre Channel networks. It is designed to provide high-performance connectivity to storage networks, ensuring reliable and fast access to data stored on the network. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the HPE R2E09-63001 Dual Ports PCI-E SFP+ Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter in detail.
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
A Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a device that enables servers to connect to a Fibre Channel network. The HBA acts as an interface between the server’s host bus and the Fibre Channel network. It provides high-speed connectivity to storage networks, allowing servers to access data stored on the network. Fibre Channel HBAs are widely used in data centers and enterprise environments to support storage area networks (SANs).
Features
The HPE R2E09-63001 is a high-performance dual ports PCI-E SFP+ Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter that provides reliable and fast connectivity to storage networks. Here are some of its key features:
- Dual Ports: The HPE R2E09-63001 comes with two Fibre Channel ports, allowing servers to connect to two different storage networks simultaneously. This provides redundancy and load balancing, ensuring that data access is not affected in case of network failures.
- PCI-E Interface: The HPE R2E09-63001 uses the PCI-E interface, which is a high-speed serial interface that provides faster data transfer rates than traditional PCI interfaces. This ensures faster data access and reduced latency, improving server performance.
- SFP+ Connectivity: The HPE R2E09-63001 uses SFP+ connectors for Fibre Channel connectivity. SFP+ connectors are hot-pluggable and allow for easy replacement and upgrades. They also support longer cable lengths, allowing for greater flexibility in network design.
- High Performance: The HPE R2E09-63001 is designed for high-performance connectivity, with support for up to 16 Gbps data transfer rates per port. This ensures fast data access and reduces the time required for data transfers.
- Support for Virtualization: The HPE R2E09-63001 supports virtualization, allowing multiple virtual machines to share the same physical HBA. This reduces the cost and complexity of network infrastructure, and improves resource utilization.
