Описание и характеристики

A6826A 2Gbps dual port Fiber Channel host bus adapter - For 64-bit Linux and HP-UX - Dual channel, short wave, 64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X - Has LC connectors

The HP single & dual-channel, 2Gb Fibre Channel adapter delivers the performance, flexibility, and high availability you need to support the connectivity requirements for server consolidation in your adaptive enterprise. That's because the single & dual-channel, 2Gb Fibre Channel adapter uses two independent Fibre Channel ports to provide fast, robust connections to your storage infrastructure, which enables you to maximize your existing server I/O slots with high-speed connectivity in a Fibre Channel or SAN environment. The HP 2Gb adapters also deliver optimum levels of reliability and performance in their ability to support HP virtual partitions (vPars), enabling you to run multiple instances (versions) of the HP-UX 11i operating environment (OE) simultaneously on one server, with each OE instance hosting its own set of applications in a fully isolated environment.

Best Connectivity Choice: Highest Level of Availability & Support

HP Fibre Channel adapters offer the highest level of availability and support when used in conjunction with HP StorageWorks storage arrays, tape storage systems, and Fibre Channel switches. The dual-channel (A6826A) and single-channel (A6795A) 2Gb Fibre Channel adapters deliver data transfer rates up to 400 megabytes per second per channel (full-duplex), effectively doubling performance over previous-generation Fibre Channel adapters. In addition, the 2Gb Fibre Channel adapters auto-negotiate 1Gb or 2Gb transfer rates, allowing full legacy support for 1Gb SAN infrastructures to protect your current SAN investment. HP Fibre Channel adapters provide Fibre Channel switched fabric (FC-SW) functionality enabling HP servers to conveniently participate as a node in SAN environments. FC-SW functionality is supported on all current and future platforms, and it offers the significant advantage of allowing servers to boot across switches. The HP Fibre Channel adapters' features and benefits are shown below.
