Looking for a high-bandwidth HBA solution to meet the requirements of increasing server virtualization and consolidation? Finding it difficult to realize the full bandwidth potential of your server running I/O intensive applications? The HPE StoreFabric SN1100Q 16Gb Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb HBAs, it takes storage networking performance and efficiency to the next level. They enable rapid storage and retrieval of critical information when using high bandwidth cloud applications and storage intensive applications such as backup, database transactions and rich media. Designed for increased virtual machine density and bandwidth requirements, the SN1100Q 16Gb HBA products enable more applications and virtual machines to run on a single server and port, resulting in reduced cabling. The SN1100Q 16Gb HBAs are backward compatible with 8 Gb and 4 Gb networks and will protect your current and future IT investments.
HPE SN1100Q 16Gb Single Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

SAN Delivers a Compounding Set of Application and Storage Benefits
- Implement a high-performance SAN data connection for improving database performance and their applications.
- If using virtual servers, realize each server will generate their I/O that could overrun an Ethernet network but would be accelerated on a Fibre Channel SAN network.
- Sharing a high-speed storage array helps maximize HPE ProLiant servers and their associated application performance while allowing storage management tasks to be performed on one storage device ā not repetitive storage tasks at each HPE ProLiant.
The Fibre Channel protocol is the most secure method to deliver data
- The SN1100Q 16Gb HBA uses Fibre Channel as the data transport protocol. That protocol has no IP address and requires other devices to use the Fibre Channel protocol. This protocol helps eliminate any outside communications making it impervious to outside attacks.
- Data delivery is performed with extra features designed to automate error correction to prevent delivery retries.
- While the Fibre Channel protocol can securely deliver data on a connection, Fibre Channel also allows multiple physical connections from server to storage to reduce potential downtime from issues such as bad or unplugged cables, faulty connectors, faulty switch ports or weak storage controllers.
Expand or Contract the SAN as Needed
- A Fibre Channel SAN allows for the introduction of additional HPE ProLiant servers if there are available active Fibre Channel switch ports. Generally, an HPE ProLiant server can be introduced, configured, and booted without disruption to the existing devices.
- If physical servers are not part of the expansion strategy, virtual servers can be introduced with similar ease with products like VMware vSphere® Storage vMotion® where, for example, you can move multiple virtual machines onto a new server in the SAN.
