HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Dual Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (P9M76A)

32 Gb High-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters

The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the bandwidth of 16 Gb FC HBAs.

More data moved per watt of power consumed when compared to the Generation 5 (16 Gb) FC adapters.

Designed to support emerging Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Fibre Channel storage network.

5x efficiency of server investments vs Ethernet based block storage.

High Performance and Enhanced Capability For Critical Workloads and High SLA Environments

The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters supports for N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) and industry standards-based Class-specific control (CS_CTL), provides end-to-end quality of service (QoS).

Delivers 32Gbps line rate per physical port, and increases the number of virtual machines (VMs) per each physical HBA Port that can be supported.

Advanced diagnostics capabilities when used in conjunction with HPE B-series FC switches can reduce troubleshooting and downtime with support for features like D-port diagnostics, Link Cable Beaconing (LCB), Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP), enhanced FDMI, FC Ping and FC Trace Route.

Data center administrators do not need to concern themselves with multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict.

Improves host utilization and enhances application performance.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters allows more data to be moved per watt of power consumed vs. earlier FC generations, improving the power to performance ratio by over 30%.

With support for features like D-port diagnostics, Link Cable Beaconing (LCB), Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP), enhanced FDMI, FC Ping and FC Trace Route., administrators can quickly run a battery of automated diagnostic tests to assess the health of links and fabric components.

PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 Support

The HPE SN1600Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters includes PCIe 3.0 and increases interconnect performance bandwidth by 2x compared to PCIe 2.0.

The PCIe 3.0 encoding scheme reduces overhead by up to 20%
