Features and Benefits
HP StorageWorks 8Gb PCIe FC HBAs
Key Features - 81Q PCIe FC HBA (AK344A) and 82Q PCIe FC HBA (AJ764A)
First step into the 8 Gb
future
Better performance at a competitive price
Well positioned for the future with 8 Gb technology
Enhanced for storage intensive applications
Advanced embedded
support for virtualized
environments
Supports virtualized servers for overall effective server utilization
Allows multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port
256 queue pairs for intensive virtualization
Prioritization of queues prevents conflicts between multiple queues
Redundant HBAs for high
availability
Reduced power
consumption
Failover of HBAs to prevent single point of failure
Two single port cards are more reliable than one dual port card
Latest generation technology saves power
Reduced number of components on each FC HBA reduces overall power consumption
Lower power consumption means HBA requires lower airflow

Features and Benefits
HP StorageWorks 8Gb PCIe FC HBAs
Benefits At a Glance
Get better performance at The 8 Gb series of fibre channel host bus adapters are priced only slightly higher than equivalent 4 Gb
a competitive price
HBAs, yet they have the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance.
Be well positioned for the Since 4 Gb technology will be considered "old" soon, customers have the opportunity to move to 8 Gb
future with 8 Gb
technology
technology, which is backward compatible with 4 Gb and 2 Gb and will serve them for a much longer
period than 4 Gb technology.
Enhanced for storage
intensive applications
When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, and rich media,
the improved I/O performance allows you to store and retrieve data much faster
Supports virtualized
Today, the average server operates at approximately 25% of its capacity and IT administrators are being
servers for overall effectivechallenged to increase server utilization and reduce operational costs. The 8Gb HBA support for
server utilization virtualized servers will assist IT administrators in their adoption of server virtualization.
Evolving HBA technology . The new 8Gb Fibre Channel technology is a natural complement to the PCIe 2.0 bus architecture and
keeps pace with the
effective bandwidth of
server busses.
will provide servers with ample bandwidth and throughput performance.
Redundant HBAs for high Failover of HBAs to prevent single point of failure. Two single port cards have higher data availability
