• Interface: PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)
• Port count: Single port
• Compatibility: HP StorageWorks SAN environments

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter is designed to fit into standard PCIe slots found in HP ProLiant servers and other compatible systems. It communicates natively with HP StorageWorks arrays and fabric switches, allowing it to integrate smoothly into existing SAN setups without requiring extensive reconfiguration. This makes it an excellent choice for IT teams looking to expand storage capacity, add new hosts, or upgrade from older 4Gb Fibre Channel hardware while maintaining infrastructure consistency.

Performance and reliability

The low latency path provided by the Fibre Channel connection ensures that performance remains stable even when multiple virtual machines access storage simultaneously or when large sequential data transfers occur, such as during overnight backups. This reliability is critical for environments running VMware clusters, Oracle or SQL databases, and high-throughput tape backup servers that must complete tasks within strict maintenance windows. HP’s firmware and driver support further enhance the adapter’s dependable operation.

Ideal uses and environments

This adapter is a strong choice for data centers and enterprise environments that rely on HP StorageWorks SANs and require consistent, high-speed storage connectivity. It fits well in setups involving virtualization, database management, and backup operations where predictable performance and low latency are essential. IT administrators who prioritize vendor compatibility and streamlined management will find this adapter aligns well with their infrastructure goals.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
