32 Gb High-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters
HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 32 GFC storage area networks.
Performance of up to 2 million IOPS and 12,800 Mbps of aggregate throughput.
Simultaneous support for FCP-SCSI and FC-NVMe to make transition from legacy SCSI environments to new NVMe environments seamless.
Higher performance with existing server investments when compared to 16 Gb FC adapters.
More data moved per watt of power consumed when compared to 16 Gb FC adapters.
High Performance and Enhanced Capability for Critical Workloads and High SLA Environments
HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter supports N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV), virtual machine ID (VM-ID), and industry standards-based class-specific control (CS_CTL). These provide end-to-end quality of service (QoS).
Improve database transactional performance, enable faster business decisions with better data mining, and host more VMs.
Port isolation design delivers deterministic and scalable performance on each port.
Provides hardware root of trust to protect against malicious firmware downloads.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
HPE SN1610Q 32Gb FC HBA integrates with HPE SmartSAN, HPE Smart Fabric Orchestrator, HPE B-Series, and HPE C-Series switch management platforms, reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and improves reliability.
Support for Fabric Assigned – World Wide Network (FA-WWN) and Fragment-Based Lead Discovery (F-BLD) provides fabric pre-provisioning services to simplify SAN deployment and orchestration.
With support for features such as D-port diagnostics, Link Cable Beaconing (LCB), Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP), enhanced FDMI, FC Ping, and FC Trace Route, administrators can quickly run many automated diagnostic tests to assess the health of links and fabric components.
PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0 Support
HPE StoreFabric SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter includes PCIe 4.0 and provides better interconnect performance bandwidth when compared to PCIe 3.0.

32 Gb High Performance Bandwidth, Lower Latency, and Higher Number of I/Os
- HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel HBA offers higher bandwidth than older HBAs to allow for faster travel from source to destination targets.
- Lower latency enables the transition from one action to the next action transaction. With 32,000,000,000 (billion) bits traveling per second, even small improvements to latency can have large impacts at scale.
- Performance up to 2 million IOPS.
Database and Data-Intensive Applications Improved Performance with Fibre Channel.
- Fibre Channel is designed to support block-based data structures found in most databases and their associated applications ā enterprise resource planning (ERP), reservation systems, financial and insurance, medical, and large virtual server deployments.
- The adapter improves database transactional performance, enables faster business decisions with better data mining, and hosts more VMs.
- The newer NVMe protocol strips away many of the older, unused SCSI commands and builds a more memory-friendly protocol (think storage arrays with SSDs) offering much lower latency and quicker responses to data transactions
Lower Total Cost of Ownership and Investment Protection
- Migrating from 16 Gb HBAs reduces cabling and power consumption while improving overall performance.
- SAN design allows component generations to be mixed, meaning older and newer products are automatically supported. If an end-to-end SAN upgrade is not possible, it is possible to upgrade different portions of the SAN to match budgets.
- SAN design supports two generations forward compatibility: 32 Gb HBA today would function properly with 64 Gb and 128 Gb components in the future. Future deployments could place high I/O functions on faster-performing products while leaving-lower performing functions on lower-performing products.
Fibre Channel Remains the Most Secure Protocol for Transporting Data
- Designed to only transmit data to other Fibre Channel devices on a SAN, the protocol excludes IP addresses removing access from outside entities and vulnerabilities.
- Hardware root of trust is built into the HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel HBAĀ that prevents unsigned firmware from being downloaded into the adapter making sure that only secure firmware is downloaded.
