AGILENT HHBA

Agilent HHBA-5418, HHBA-5420
Low Profile, 2 Gb/s, Dual Port PCI-X
to Fibre Channel Adapters
Product Overview
Product Description
The HHBA-5418/20 are Agilent’s
low profile, 2 Gb/s, dual-port PCI-X
to Fibre Channel Adapters for high
performance storage area networks and clustering environments. These products feature two
independent fibre channel ports
and a PCI-X interface for increased
connectivity and higher bandwidth. The low profile host adapters are specifically designed for
use in 1U and 2U servers.
Performance and Scalability
Based on Agilent’s Tachyon DX2
single-chip Fibre Channel
controller, the HHBA-5418/20
eliminate performance bottlenecks
and inter-operability issues
associated with dual-port adapters
using multi-chip controllers and
PCI-to-PCI bridge implementations. Agilent’s proven Finite State
Machine (FSM) architecture allows
performance to scale seamlessly
with increased server CPU power.
By contrast, processor-based
adapters are limited by the
maximum performance of the
processor itself.
The combination of Agilent’s 2 Gb
Fibre Channel technology and
133 MHz PCI-X delivers unparalleled performance, scalability and
connectivity. The HHBA-5418 and
HHBA-5420 products accommodate
1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s fibre channel
devices without hardware modification, preserving investments in
legacy systems as well as allowing
seamless migration toward new
2 Gb/s SAN installations.
Compatible with SAN environments
The HHBA-5418/20 ensures full
backward compatibility with
33/66 MHz PCI while providing a
smooth upgrade path to the next
generation, 133 MHz PCI-X.
