capabilities make 32Gb Fibre Channel adapters well suited for to deliver on SLA requirements and application performance.
What's New
Key Features and Benefits
Performance
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.
Reduced power
Latest generation technology saves power by pausing the SFP when activity is not present Gbps per
Channel adapters.
Support for greater
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.
ExpressLane LUN
The SN1600E HBAs enable I/O prioritization of physical or virtual server to a LUN or a group of LUNs
OneCommand management software downloadable from HPE Software Downloads.
NVMe over Fibre
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

Active Health System
All HPE 32GFC adapters support HPE ProLiant Active Health System integration. This helps administrators accurately troubleshoot and resolves problem within the server faster.
Smart SAN support
Smart SAN is a protocol agnostic application embedded in SAN components that enables the 3PAR to
the near future.
Secure Firmware download
The SN1600E delivers enhanced security via the new secure firmware update feature which protects
T10 Protection Information (T10-PI)
HPE 32GFC adapters support T10-PI for enhanced data integrity when connected to T10-PI enabled

FEC is enabled and improved at 32GFC as required by the FC Specification, automatically correcting
Class-specific Control (CS_CTL)
QoS capability that enables administrators to prioritize storage traffic to meet the needs of critical VM
Link cable beaconing (LCB)
LED beaconing for ports on both ends of a physical link simplifies cable identification and management.
D-Port Diagnostics
Quickly run automated diagnostic tests in a single step, across multiple adapters, servers, and fabric components to assess connectivity. Optics and cable problems are identified and resolved.
FDMI,FC Ping, FC Trace Route
Quickly check connectivity to SAN devices and query the switch management server for in-depth
Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP)
