Improve bandwidth, latency, and I/O performance
Key Features
32 Gb High Performance Bandwidth, Lower Latency, and Higher Number of I/Os
HPE SN1610Q 32Gb Fibre Channel HBA offers higher bandwidth than older HBAs to allow for faster travel from source to destination targets.

Lower latency enables the transition from one action to the next action transaction. With 32,000,000,000 (billion) bits traveling per second, even small improvements to latency can have large impacts at scale.

Performance up to 2 million IOPS.

Database and Data-Intensive Applications Improved Performance with Fibre Channel.
Fibre Channel is designed to support block-based data structures found in most databases and their associated applications — enterprise resource planning (ERP), reservation systems, financial and insurance, medical, and large virtual server deployments.

The adapter improves database transactional performance, enables faster business decisions with better data mining, and hosts more VMs.

The newer NVMe protocol strips away many of the older, unused SCSI commands and builds a more memory-friendly protocol (think storage arrays with SSDs) offering much lower latency and quicker responses to data transactions
