The HP dual-port 8Gb/s Fibre Channel and dual-port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Multifunction Adapter (AT094A) combines two best-of-breed technologies into a single product that can meet all server connectivity needs in next-generation data centers. With unmatched performance for HP‑UX environments, and higher port density for I/O slot constrained systems, it delivers the ultimate in reduced cost and complexity. It is the simplest, most flexible and most powerful server connectivity product available today for HP Integrity rx2800 i2 and HP Integrity Superdome 2 systems.

• Single adapter with two ports of 8Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O for mass storage connectivity, and two ports of either 1 or 10 Gigabit Ethernet I/O for networking connectivity
• Higher port density for I/O slot constrained servers—effectively cuts in half the number of cards needed, as well as reducing the need for external expansion cabinets
• Higher levels of failover protection, because two HP multifunction adapters have no single point of failure
