The HPE SN1610E Host Bus Adapters (HBA) are designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. Applications continue to grow in size and scale. To support them, enterprises are increasingly turning to new server technologies that contain hundreds of processor cores as well as high-performance storage solutions, including low-latency Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) and all-flash arrays (AFAs). NVMe can significantly increase the performance of storage area networks (SANs), making the selection of high-speed networking technology the critical element for achieving maximum system-wide performance. Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1610E HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 32 Gigabit Fiber Channel (GFC). It provides seamless backward compatibility to 16 GFC and 8 GFC networks.
Accelerate workload performance for NVMe data centers
The HPE SN1610E Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 32 GFC storage area networks. It speeds up applications and AFAs, as wells as handles peak workload I/O spikes better than the previous generation adapters. It offers PCIe 4.0 support and provides better interconnect performance bandwidth when compared to PCIe 3.0.
Easily deploy, manage, and upgrade SANs
The HPE SN1610E FC HBA saves time with no server reboots for firmware updates, queue depth changes, and optics replacements. It provides industry-leading HBA reliability though which one can meet the service level agreements on time. It enables full end-to-end implementation of Brocade Fabric Vision from the HBA to the switch.
Fully protect data
The HPE SN1610E FC HBA can thwart malicious firmware with a Silicon Root of Trust and digitally signed firmware. The secure boot offers UEFI boot code security with digitally signed boot code. The SN1610E can protect the data from corruption using the data integrity field (T10 DIF).
