HPE StoreFabric SN1600 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
capabilities make 32Gb Fibre Channel adapters well suited for to deliver on SLA requirements and application performance.
Key Features and Benefits
Up to two ports of Gen6 FC delivers 1.6 million1 IOPS and 12,800MBps bandwidth across two 32GFC
fabrics to speed SAN deployment
application and database transactions per second, enables faster large block transfers and increases the
number of VMs that can be supported per server.
Latest generation technology saves power by pausing the SFP when activity is not present Gbps per
Higher bandwidth and ability to virtualize physical ports with QoS in the adapter, make these adapters
a higher return on IT investment.
Connectivity to HPE
Server and Storage
Provides an HPE-branded HBA solution which has undergone extensive HPE interoperability testing
NOTE: The HPE SN1600E delivers 1.6 million IOPS on a single port or in aggregate across both ports.
The SN1600E HBAs enable I/O prioritization of physical or virtual server to a LUN or a group of LUNs

HPE 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are NVMe-enabled to support emerging NVM Express
The HPE StoreFabric 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters are designed to support ProLiant Servers with PCI-Express I/O slots
to connect to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Storage Arrays using the 32/16/8 Gb Fibre Channel protocol.
The HPE 32GFC Host Bus Adapters bring datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency
with the ability to deliver twice the bandwidth performance of 16Gb HBAs at lower latency. A 32GFC HBA purchased today is
backward compatible with 16Gb and 8Gb 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 32GFC
infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information. Designed for environments with greater virtual machine
density and bandwidth requirements, the 32GFC HBAs enable more applications and VMs to run on a single host server and Fibre
Channel port, resulting in reduced cabling and a higher return on IT investment. Enhanced diagnostics and orchestration
