Citrix Compatibility

StorageWorks 81Q PCIe Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is verified to be compatible with:

Delivers twice the performance of 4 Gb FC HBAs for enterprises looking for SAN connectivity solutions to have unmatched performance, reliability, and server utilization.

Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapterse 

• PCIe 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters deliver twice the I/O performance of 4Gb FC HBAs.
• Moving to 8 Gb technology provides the infrastructure required for the powerful servers and data intensive applications of the future.
• When using storage intensive applications like backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization and rich media, the improved I/O performance enables faster storage and retrieval of data.

Fibre Channel HBAs for Virtualization

• Ideal for the implementation of virtual servers with the power to drive multiple virtual machines.
• Allows a single port to acquire multiple N Port IDs, eliminating the need for additional physical ports.
• Datacenter administrators do not need to concern themselves with multiple requests from the virtualized servers potentially creating conflict.
• Improves host utilization and enhances application performance.

Technology Supports Green Initiatives

• HP 8 Gb FC HBAs have features in support of ‘green’ server technology.
