Description
Product overview of SN1000Q HP Storefabric
The SN1000Q HP StoreFabric 16GB Dual Port PCI-E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a powerful hardware component that enables high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of what this device is, how it works, and why it is an important component in a modern data center.
Host Bus Adapter
A Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a hardware component that allows a computer or server to connect to a Storage Area Network (SAN). A SAN is a dedicated network that provides access to shared storage devices, such as hard drives or tape drives. An HBA acts as an interface between the server and the SAN, allowing data to be transmitted back and forth between the two.
The SN1000Q HP StoreFabric 16GB Dual Port PCI-E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter The SN1000Q HP StoreFabric 16GB Dual Port PCI-E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a specific type of HBA designed for high-performance applications. It has two ports, allowing it to connect to two separate SANs simultaneously, providing redundancy in case one connection fails. The 16GB refers to the maximum speed at which data can be transferred, which is 16 gigabits per second (Gbps). This is an extremely fast speed and is necessary for modern data centers that require rapid data transfer rates.
Fibre Channel Protocol
The Fibre Channel protocol is a high-speed data transfer protocol that is used to transmit data between servers and storage devices. It is a low-latency protocol, which means that data can be transferred quickly without any significant delay. The Fibre Channel protocol is also a highly reliable protocol, as it uses error-correcting codes to ensure that data is transmitted accurately.
