HP StoreFabric SN1200E 870002-001 Dual Port 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA High Profile

HPE StoreFabric SN1200E 16Gb Dual-Port Fibre Channel HBA

The HPE Part Number 870002-001 (Option SKU: Q0L14A / Board P/N: Q0L14-63001) is an enterprise-class, dual-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (16GFC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA). Developed in collaboration with Emulex (Broadcom) and built on the premium Gen 6 Fibre Channel ASIC architecture, this adapter is engineered to optimize storage-intensive workloads within HPE ProLiant and Apollo server environments.

This specific configuration includes a pre-installed High-Profile (Full-Height) mounting bracket, making it ready for deployment in standard PCIe slots found in 2U to 4U rack servers or tower chassis. It provides twice the I/O throughput of legacy 8Gb HBAs, reducing network latencies and eliminating data traffic choke points in modern All-Flash storage networks.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Dual-Port Redundancy: Features two independent SFP+ ports to support multipathing configurations, failover protection, and aggregate bandwidth throughput up to 32 Gbps in full-duplex mode.

• Massive I/O Performance: Delivers up to 1.6 million IOPS concurrently across both ports, drastically accelerating data warehousing queries, heavy database operations, and Online Transaction Processing (OLTP).

• NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe) Ready: Fully hardware-enabled to support emerging NVMe-over-Fabrics protocols, allowing enterprise data centers to step into ultra-low-latency flash storage without swapping their underlying SAN architecture.

• ExpressLane™ Prioritization: Includes exclusive Emulex technology that prioritizes critical data traffic from high-priority virtual machines (VMs) or specific LUNs within heavily congested or multi-tenant networks.

• Data Integrity Protection (T10-PI): Features hardware-offloaded T10 Protection Information (T10-PI) to perform end-to-end data verification, guarding against silent data corruption as blocks move from host memory down to the storage array.

• ProLiant Active Health System Integration: Syncs directly with HPE’s Active Health System (AHS) and iLO infrastructure to provide server administrators with instant structural diagnostic readouts, power monitoring, and telemetry data.
