Unparalleled manageability, reliability, performance, and ease of deployment

Unrivaled scalability and industry-leading technology make the HP single-channel (HP part No. AD222A) HBA an ideal solution for SAN connected HP Integrity servers running HP-UX and (in the near future) OpenVMS. Dual embedded processors and dual fully independent 1/2/4 Gb/s Fibre Channel links delivers maximum performance in the broadest range of applications and environments.

Based on the Emulex IOC 3532 embedded processors and fully-independent 1/2/4Gb/s Fibre Channel links, this dual Fibre Channel and 1Gb dual channel Ethernet HBA delivers maximum performance in the broadest range of applications and environments

Proven design, architecture and interface

The HBA's highly integrated single-chip design uses Emulex IOC 3532 controller to minimize onboard components, while advanced error checking methods assure robust data integrity.

The IOC 3532 robust feature set is designed to enhance data communications between high-end servers and storage systems in an enterprise class Storage Area Network. IOC 3532 is a highly integrated controller, yielding a best-in-class footprint that is ideal for server and appliance 'chip down' applications that integrate one or two Fibre Channel links.
