With the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4 Gb FC HBAs

An 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2 Gb storage networks

Will protect future investments

8 Gb infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information

Finally, PCIe 8Gb FC Host Bus Adapters provide a number of features that work together

To reduce power consumption, thus delivering a "green" benefit within the server

The Highest Performing Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters

The PCIe 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb FC HBAs

Moving to 8 Gb technology provides the infrastructure required for the more powerful servers

Data intensive applications of the future

The improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data

Best Fibre Channel HBAs for Virtualization

Ideal for the implementation of virtual servers with the power to drive multiple virtual machines

Allows a single port to acquire multiple N Port IDs

Eliminating the need for additional physical ports

Datacenter administrators do not need to concern themselves

With multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict

Improves host utilization and enhances application performance
