HPE SN1610E 32Gb 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for High-Performance Data Centers

HPE SN1610E 32Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

The HPE SN1610E 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is designed to meet the demanding needs of modern data centers, supporting mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. Featuring two high-speed ports, this plug-in card enhances storage area network (SAN) performance with increased bandwidth, reduced latency, and improved security measures. Its support for PCIe 4.0 ensures faster interconnect performance compared to previous standards, enabling faster data transfer rates essential for NVMe-based storage solutions and all-flash arrays. This adapter seamlessly integrates into existing SAN environments, offering backward compatibility with 16 GFC and 8 GFC networks, making upgrades straightforward without disrupting ongoing operations. The SN1610E facilitates accelerated workloads for NVMe data centers, speeding up applications and handling peak I/O spikes more efficiently than earlier models. Its robust design and industry-leading reliability ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) are consistently met, providing confidence in data integrity and operational uptime. Managing SANs is simplified through features that eliminate the need for server reboots during firmware updates, queue depth changes, or optics replacements, minimizing downtime and maintenance efforts. Full support for Brocade Fabric Vision from the HBA to the switch enables comprehensive visibility and management of SAN environments. Security enhancements include protection against malicious firmware with Silicon Root of Trust and digitally signed firmware, safeguarding critical data. Compact and lightweight at approximately 4.4 ounces, this adapter is an ideal upgrade for data centers seeking high-performance, reliable, and secure Fibre Channel connectivity.
