HP PCI Express 2-Port 8Gb Fibre Channel SR (Emulex) Adaptor

The introduction of the HP 8Gb PCIe Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) brings datacentre infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency. The HP 8Gb PCIe FC HBAs are priced only slightly higher than an equivalent 4Gb HBA, yet, they have the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance. In addition, an 8Gb FC HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4Gb and 2Gb and will protect your investment longer than if you were to purchase an equivalent 4Gb HBA. If you are using storage intensive applications, such as backup / restore, database transactions, and rich media, the increased performance of the 8Gb infrastructure allows you to store and retrieve critical information faster.
