Description

Fibre Channel HBA card

A Fibre Channel HBA card connects the server over optical fiber to the SAN storage network and external storage arrays.

In organizations with centralized SAN storage, stable, low-latency block access to the array is done over FC.

A storage network separate from the LAN, with predictable latency and multipath.
