HPE R7N78A SN1700E 64Gb 2‑port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter – in Dubai:
Overview:
The HPE R7N78A is an enterprise Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for system administrators and storage network engineers to connect servers to 64 Gb/s SAN fabrics. It provides dual 64 Gb Fibre Channel ports over PCIe Gen4 x8, enabling high‑bandwidth, low‑latency connectivity between HPE servers and SAN storage infrastructures.
This adapter supports widely deployed SAN environments and is suited for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers as well as Alletra storage platforms and other enterprise storage systems.
Dual SFP+ Fibre Channel optics deliver resilient paths to storage fabrics, with backward compatibility to 32 Gb and 16 Gb Fibre Channel networks.
Management and operational control integrate with HPE compute and SAN management tools, allowing visibility into link status and port health.
This adapter is not suited as a general‑purpose Ethernet NIC; its use is specific to Fibre Channel SAN connectivity in storage‑intensive environments.
Typical Deployment Scenarios:
• Dual‑path FC SAN connectivity for database servers
• Fibre Channel links in virtualized compute clusters
• Backup/restore traffic offload to dedicated SAN fabrics
• High‑availability storage networks with redundant paths
• Server attachments to Fibre Channel switches and directors
