HPE SN1700Q 64Gb 1-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

The HPE SN1700Q 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) enable any HPE ProLiant server to share a highly resilient storage array such as the HPE Alletra Storage Array. Any HPE ProLiant with a Fibre Channel (FC) HBA can be configured to share storage. This type of design is a Storage Area Network (SAN). A FC Switch is used between the HPE ProLiant servers and the storage to direct data traffic to and from the server and storage. A SAN is an excellent design for high availability, and high performance, using block-based design complementary to databases, online transaction processing, and enterprise resource processing. The SAN also enables different generations of FC products to interconnect allowing for phased upgrades or longer investment protection options.

What is new supporting point:
64 Gb FC HBAs double the bandwidth of 32 Gb FC products while maintaining full compatibility. FC leverages a block-based design, which is best used with data-intensive enterprise workloads.
The 64 Gb FC HBAs enable a non-disruptive firmware upgrade reducing downtime and meeting critical service level agreements (SLAs) especially in HPE GreenLake environments.
The new FC-NVMe protocol supports exponentially more data queues and concurrent commands. Customers can experience exponential storage performance gains in the form of much lower latency.
