HP QW972-63001 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

HP QW972-63001 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a dual-port HBA built around the QLogic QLE2662 controller, delivering 16 Gbps Fibre Channel per port via two SFP connectors; this configuration provides two independent channels ideal for redundant paths to storage area networks. The card is the high-bracket (full-height) variant, intended for servers that accommodate full-height expansion cards and common data-center rack configurations. With two 16 Gbps links, it enables direct host-to-SAN connectivity for storage-intensive workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups, and large-scale file systems, offering scalable throughput for enterprise SAN environments.
