Overall Satisfaction with HP StoreFabric Converged Network Adapters

We use both the HP 3PAR SAN and Nimble/HP SAN in conjunction with HP StoreFabric CNA's. Both SAN's are availble company wide, both local and via VPN. By using the HP SF CNA's we the Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel connections are consolidated onto a single converged network adapter.
  • By using the HP SF CNA's we the Ethernet, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel connections are consolidated onto a single converged network adapter
  • HP SF CNA's offer a wide range of connectivity on a single dependable interface adapter
  • As with most HPE products, dependability, performance and utility are the docus
  • The price is pretty high when compared to other CNA's, but we choose dependability and performance over cost
  • Combines the functionality of a NIC (Ethernet/iSCSI) and Fibre Channel HBA onto a single adapter
  • Extensive Hewlett Packard Enterprise interoperability testing
  • Dual port 10/25 Gb ethernet
  • With the reduction of the number of adapters and cables and maintaining the existing Fibre and Ethernet topology thus reducing acquisition, installation and operational costs
  • Performance is high, Dependability is high = ROI is high
When optimizing ethernet and fiber topos, performance is always key. HP SF CNA's outperform every other hardware platform we tested. Add in the dependability of the HP SF CNA's specifically and HPE generally then you can see why we chose HP StoreFabric CNA's.
