The introduction of the HP StorageWorks PCIe 8Gb Host Bus Adapters brings datacenter infrastructure components to a higher level of performance and efficiency with the ability to deliver twice the I/O performance of 4 Gbps HBAs. An 8 Gbps Fibre Channel HBA purchased today is backward compatible with 4 and 2 Gbps storage networks and will protect future investments. When using storage intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 8 Gbps infrastructure enables more rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.
