HPE SN1700E 64Gb 2-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 64GFC storage area networks.
Databases, applications, and all-flash arrays function at their highest performance with a 64Gb infrastructure serving and retrieving data across the SAN.
Coupling the latest ProLiant server with a 64Gb HBA, 64GB switches, and an HPE Alletra array will drive superior performance for multiple block-based workloads like database, virtual servers, and backup/restore.

Simplified Manageability and Uptime

The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter saves time with non-disruptive firmware updates, queue depth changes, and optics replacements.
A dual path storage networking design improves access to SAN storage and greatly reduces unplanned downtime. The dual path design will reroute data traffic in the event any component failure in the SAN.
The entire ProLiant server ecosystem can be managed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise' award-winning HPE Compute Ops Management.

Protect Your Data

The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter can thwart malicious firmware with a silicon root of trust and digitally signed firmware.
The secure boot offers UEFI boot code security with digitally signed boot code along with an SPDM HBA certificate authenticating the HBA to the ProLiant servers.
The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter can protect the data from corruption using the data integrity field (T10 DIF) and reduce retires with Forward Error Correction.

Description

When server infrastructure may be limiting the performance of the OLTP and database operations, what server upgrades are necessary to address potential performance bottlenecks and achieve more effective results? The HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is designed for demanding mission-critical workloads and emerging applications. It supports HPE ProLiant, HPE Alletra Storage servers, and HPE Cray / HPE Superdome servers in a Fibre Channel SAN. Compared to the previous generation, the HPE SN1700E FC HBAs offers higher bandwidth, better latency, enhanced security, and operational efficiency for 64GFC. It provides seamless backward compatibility to 32GFC and 16GFC networks. When using storage-intensive applications, such as backup/restore, database transactions, virtualization, and rich media, the increased performance of the 64GFC infrastructure enables rapid storage and retrieval of critical information.

What is new supporting point:
New HPE SN1720E 64Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter.
Factory installed SPDM certificate that authenticates the adapter is a valid, trusted device on the PCI bus as verified by the ProLiant management utility—HPE iLO.
Post-quantum cryptography hardware feature to enhance the encryption algorithm generated by the adapter to thwart hacking attempts by future, more powerful quantum computers.
End-to-end data encryption feature where this HBA can encrypt data in flight to the target device (storage array) helping eliminate the licensing of application-based encryption.
