HPE P9D93A SN1100Q 16GB 1P FC HBA RAID controller

SKU CH-WQPM-ZYPP7 MPN P9D93A

A 16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter with a single port, enabling NVMe over FC for high-performance server storage

  • Twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBAs
  • Supports NVMe over Fibre Channel storage networks
  • 16 Gb technology for powerful servers and data-intensive applications
  • Reduces hardware, power, cooling and personnel needs
  • Enables resource consolidation and virtualization scaling

16Gb Fibre Channel HBA for virtualised workloads

The HPE SN1100Q is a single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter built for servers running data-intensive virtualised applications. It provides the I/O throughput needed when consolidating multiple workloads onto fewer physical hosts. Buyers who need multi-port connectivity or a different interconnect standard will need another adapter.

Sustained throughput in consolidated environments

Moving from 8Gb to 16Gb Fibre Channel doubles the available I/O bandwidth, letting the adapter maintain higher throughput when many virtual machines access storage simultaneously. The card is designed to keep latency low under continuous load rather than only in short bursts. Environments that cannot saturate a 16Gb link will not see a proportional benefit.

NVMe over Fibre Channel readiness

The adapter supports emerging NVMe over Fibre Channel storage networks, letting flash arrays communicate directly with the host using the NVMe protocol. This capability depends on matching switch and storage firmware that also implement the standard. Without an end-to-end NVMe-over-FC fabric the card operates as a conventional 16Gb FC HBA.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 16 Gb single-port HBA draw under continuous load?

The adapter is designed to deliver twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBAs while consuming less power and requiring less cooling, supporting consolidation and virtualization goals.

What server slot and operating-system support are required to install the P9D93A?

The card fits a standard PCIe slot in HPE ProLiant servers and is supported by the operating systems and virtualization platforms qualified for the SN1100Q series.

Will the 16 Gb adapter work with our existing 8 Gb Fibre Channel switches and storage arrays?

Yes, the SN1100Q 16 Gb HBA is backward compatible with 8 Gb and 4 Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure, allowing integration with current switches and arrays.
