HPE 81E - Host bus adapter - PCIe 2.0 x4 / PCIe x8 low profile - 8Gb Fibre Channel - for Nimble Storage dHCI Large Solution with HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10; ProLiant DL380 Gen10

The HPE PCIe 8Gb fiber channel host bus adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4 Gb FC HBAs. An 8 Gb fiber channel HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2 Gb 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 8 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.

• The highest performing fiber channel host bus adapters
• Best fiber channel HBAS for virtualization

• The highest performing fiber channel host bus adapters
  The PCIe 8 Gb fiber channel host bus adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb FC HBAs. Moving to 8 Gb technology provides the infrastructure required for the more powerful servers and data intensive applications of the future. When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization and rich media, the improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data.
• Best fiber channel HBAS for virtualization
  It is ideal for the implementation of virtual servers with the power to drive multiple virtual machines, allows a single port to acquire multiple N Port IDs, eliminating the need for additional physical ports. Datacenter administrators do not need to concern themselves with multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict. Improves host utilization and enhances application performance.
