EBS ADAPTERS

Fibre Channel Host Adapter (PCI) – 32 or 64 bit

EBS for Workgroups and EBS for Departments

The Fibre Channel Host Controller is a high-speed PCI card that provides server connectivity to the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop or Fibre Channel Fabric (on NetWare). The Fibre Channel Host Controller card is supplied in a kit that also includes one 5m Multi-Mode Fibre Channel Cable and two Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs). These GBICs are required to attach the Fibre Channel cable to the Fibre Channel Host Controller card and to the Storage Hub 7, Storage Hub 12, Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Switch 8 or Fibre Channel SAN Switches.

Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for NT/2000 PCI HBA (Fabric)

EBS for Workgroups, Departments and Data Centers

Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter for NT/2000 is a single channel, 64-bit/33-MHz PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with an embedded multi-mode (short wave) optical interface. This HBA is qualified for x86NT platforms configured with the Compaq RA8000/MA8000, ESA12000/EMA12000, NT Clustered platforms, Compaq Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) offerings and/or Compaq Fibre Channel Switches and Compaq Fibre Channel SAN Switches. It replaces the current Compaq PCI to Fibre Channel HBA (380574-001) in NT environments, which has reached end of life.

Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-to-Fibre Channel HBA for Tru64 UNIX, KGPSA-CA PCI HBA (Fabric)

EBS for Data Centers

Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is a single channel, 64-bit/33-MHz PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with an embedded multi-mode (short wave) optical interface. This HBA is qualified for Tru64 UNIX platforms configured with the Compaq RA8000/MA8000, ESA12000/EMA12000, Compaq Enterprise Backup Solution (EBS) offerings and/or Compaq Fibre Channel Switches and Compaq Fibre Channel SAN Switches. It replaces the Compaq PCI to Fibre Channel HBA (380574-001) in Alpha environments, which has reached end of life.

SUN Server Fibre Channel PCI and S-Bus Adapters

EBS for Data Centers

These Fibre Channel Host Adapters provide Sun server connectivity to the Fibre Channel switched fabric. The GLM is required to attach the Fibre Channel Host Adapter and the FC Switch 8 or 16. The GLM converts digital signals to the optical signals required in the Fibre Channel environment.

EBS INTERCONNECTS

Fibre Channel Storage Hub 7

EBS for Workgroups

A Fibre Channel Storage Hub 7 is a 7-port Fibre Channel Hub that acts as the focal point of the Enterprise Backup Solution for Workgroups. This storage hub provides up to seven multi-mode Fibre Channel connections. For example, five servers can be connected to the storage hub leaving one or two available ports for connections to Fibre Channel Tape Controllers. The storage hub is a rack-mountable unit (with the optional rackmount kit) in a 1U form factor.

Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12

EBS for Departments

A Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 is a 12-port Fibre Channel Hub that acts as the focal point of the Enterprise Backup Solution for Departments. This storage hub provides up to 12 multi-mode or single-mode (supported in future release of EBS) Fibre Channel connections. For example, nine servers can be connected to the storage hub leaving three available ports for connections to Fibre Channel Tape Controllers. The storage hub is a rack-mountable unit with a 1U form factor.

Storage Hub 12 Management Option

This is an optional component that provides management for the Compaq Storage Hub 12. It shares the same physical Fibre Channel cabling and uses a channel (frequency) not shared by the Fibre Channel protocol, thus there is no loss in data integrity or bandwidth. Utilizing out-of-band communication, the module allows master hubs to monitor and control cascaded hubs without depending on general network availability.
