HPE Sourcing StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

The introduction of the HP StorageWorks 81Q PCI-e Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency. The HP StorageWorks 81Q PCI-e FC Host Bus Adapter is priced only slightly higher than an equivalent 4Gb HBA, yet, it has the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance. In addition, an 8Gb FC HBA purchased today will protect your investment longer than if you were to purchase an equivalent 4Gb HBA. If you are using storage intensive applications, such as rich media, the increased performance of the 8Gb infrastructure allows you to store and retrieve critical information faster.
