Product features

• High-performance 32Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus adapters
  The HPE SN1600E 32Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus adapters delivers twice the bandwidth of 16Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus adapters while being backward compatible with 16 and 8 Gb FC environments. More data moved per Watt of power consumed when compared to the Generation 5 (16 Gb) FC adapters. Higher performance with existing server investments when compared to the Generation 5 (16Gb) FC adapters.
• Faster flash
  The HPE SN1600E 32Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus adapters accelerate the time to business insight by completing data warehousing queries in 1/4th of the time (compared to 8 Gb FC HBA). Meets the massive bandwidth requirements of flash storage arrays with up to 32Gb FC throughput. Increases the performance of flash based storage by prioritizing mission critical traffic in congested networks with the exclusive ExpressLane feature.
• Increase server virtualization performance
  The HPE SN1600E 32Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus adapters delivers near limitless scalability to support increased VM density with 2X more on-chip resources and bandwidth than Gen5 Fiber Channel. Improves the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) end-user experience with low latency features providing noticeable improvements during boot storms (degradation of service that occurs when a significant number of end-users boot up within a very narrow time frame and overwhelm the network). Simplifies management and installation with OneCommand Manager plugin for VMware vCenter server.
