Description
HPE SN1100Q 16Gb Dual Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a high-performance storage networking card designed for modern data centers that require fast, reliable, and low-latency connectivity to Fibre Channel storage arrays. Built for HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers, it delivers exceptional throughput and improved efficiency for workloads such as virtualization, databases, high-transaction applications, and enterprise SAN environments.
The adapter provides 16Gb/s throughput per port, offering a significant improvement over older 8Gb adapters. With two independent Fibre Channel ports, it enables redundant, high-availability paths to storage arrays, ensuring continuous uptime and dependable performance.
Designed with advanced offload technology, the SN1100Q reduces CPU overhead, allowing the server to dedicate more processing power to critical applications instead of storage tasks. It supports both traditional Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) and next-generation NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe), making it suitable for both current workloads and future high-performance NVMe storage deployments.
For virtualized environments, the HBA supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), enabling multiple virtual machines to share the same physical port efficiently. This improves scalability, VM density, and overall network flexibility.
The card also includes enterprise-class diagnostics such as link testing, cable validation, and performance monitoring, helping IT teams identify issues quickly and maintain a stable infrastructure. With backward compatibility to 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel devices, it protects existing SAN investments while offering a seamless upgrade path.
Built as a compact PCIe 3.0 adapter with both low-profile and full-height brackets, the SN1100Q integrates easily into a wide range of server chassis. It delivers outstanding reliability, efficient power usage, and long-term performance—making it a smart choice for businesses modernizing their storage networks.
