About the HPE P9D93A - HPE SN1100Q 16Gb 1p FC HBA

At 16 Gb/s throughput with intelligent port negotiation, the HPE P9D93A offloads Fibre Channel protocol processing from CPU cycles, freeing compute resources for mission-critical SAN workloads and reducing latency in high-demand storage environments. This single-port HBA bridges HPE ProLiant servers to enterprise-class storage arrays, delivering the low-latency, deterministic I/O performance that storage architects and network engineers require for tier-1 data center infrastructure.

The HPE SN1100Q 16Gb 1-Port Fibre Channel HBA integrates seamlessly into HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers via its PCIe 3.0 x8 interface in a low-profile, half-height form factor. Built on the 16GFC (Gen 6 Fibre Channel) standard, it auto-negotiates to 8 Gb/s and 4 Gb/s for flexible SAN environments, while NPIV support and FC-SP-2 security enable multi-tenant and encrypted fabric deployments. SAN boot capability ensures zero-touch OS deployment, and HPE OneView integration provides unified server and HBA lifecycle management. Firmware updates distribute via HPE Service Pack for ProLiant, eliminating manual driver management. Compatible with HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR StoreServ, HPE Nimble Storage, and third-party Fibre Channel SANs, the P9D93A supports Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware vSphere across your hybrid infrastructure.
