Description
The HPE SN1700Q 64Gb 2-Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (R7N87A) is designed for high-performance, low-latency, and highly secure data center environments. With support for PCIe Gen4 and dual-port 64Gb FC connectivity, it offers superior throughput for mission-critical workloads such as databases, ERP, and OLTP systems. Backward compatibility with 32Gb and 16Gb FC enables seamless integration into existing infrastructures.
This adapter supports FC-NVMe protocol for next-generation storage performance, reducing latency and increasing command queues. With HPE firmware integrity protection and secure download, the SN1700Q is built for secure environments such as HPE GreenLake. Designed for HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers and HPE Alletra storage arrays, it guarantees optimal performance in modern and hybrid cloud data centers.
