HPE 8Gb PCIe FC HBAs

The HPE 8Gb PCIe Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of
performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb HBAs. An 8Gb FC HBA purchased to
backward compatible with 4 and 2 Gb storage networks and will protect future investments. When using storage intensive
applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the
infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.

Finally, 8Gb PCIe FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together to reduce power consumption, thus
delivering a "green" benefit within the server.

What's New

• HPE StoreFabric 84Q 4-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (P9D91A)

Models

• HPE StoreFabric 84E 4P 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (E7Y63A)

• 

• Key Features and Benefits

• Performance

• The PCIe 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb FC HBAs

• Moving to 8 Gb technology provides the infrastructure required for the more powerful servers and data intensive

applications of the future.

• When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization and rich media, the

improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data.

•

•

• Support for greater

Server Virtualization

• Ideal for high density server virtualization environments

• Enables more applications and VMs to run on a single server and Fibre Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a

higher return on IT investment

•

• Provides HPE ProLiant

Connectivity to Storage
And Network

• Robust interoperability testing

• Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing for connecting HPE

ProLiant servers into storage and networking environments.

• Optimal for connecting to HPE's 8Gb FC edge/core network switches.

•

• Smart SAN support

• Smart SAN is a protocol agnostic application embedded in SAN components that enables the 3PAR to orchestrate

configuration, settings and policies in a SAN. HPE Smart SAN’s Target Driven Zoning enables you to configure zones
accurately in minutes and not in hours and its automatic discovery mechanism creates a powerful platform which would
enable real-time diagnostics with self-healing in the near future.
