This Emulex 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter provides rapid storage and retrieval of critical information, essential when using storage intensive applications such as database, backup/restore, transactions and virtualisation. The 8Gb capacity allows this HBA to deliver twice the I/O performance as the 4Gb HBA, aided by the dual port connection, whilst being backwards compatible with both 4Gb and 2Gb HBAs. The PCI-E 2.0 HBA also actively works to reduce power consumption, reducing running costs and offering an environmental benefit to the server. This card comes with a low profile bracket.
