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.
