Low-profile fibre channel host bus adapter with single port bracket

QLogic Corp.

QLogic Corp. SN1200E 16 Gb Single Port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Low Profile

SKU CH-YXFP-3QN42

A 16 Gb single-port Fibre Channel HBA for low-profile servers, backward compatible with 8 and 4 Gb networks and ready for NVMe storage

  • Delivers twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb Fibre Channel adapters
  • Completes data-warehousing queries faster than 8 Gb FC HBAs
  • Supports higher virtual-machine density with twice the on-chip resources and bandwidth
  • Designed for emerging NVMe over Fibre Channel storage networks
  • Low-profile form factor fits space-constrained servers

16 Gb Fibre Channel HBA

The QLogic SN1200E is a single-port host bus adapter that brings 16 Gb Fibre Channel connectivity to servers with a low-profile bracket. It targets data-centre teams that need higher bandwidth and lower latency for flash-backed storage arrays and virtualised workloads.

NVMe over Fibre Channel support

The adapter is designed for emerging NVMe over Fibre Channel storage networks, letting the host talk to NVMe-based flash arrays through the existing FC fabric. Backward compatibility with 8 Gb and 4 Gb links protects earlier switch and storage investments while the infrastructure migrates.

Twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb

On-chip resources and bandwidth are doubled compared with 8 Gb adapters, so the card comfortably handles heavier virtual-machine densities and data-warehousing queries without saturating the port. Workloads that demand sustained throughput beyond 16 Gb or that require dual-port redundancy will need a different adapter.

Highlights

  • Delivers twice the I/O performance of 8 Gb Fibre Channel adapters
  • Completes data-warehousing queries faster than 8 Gb FC HBAs
  • Supports higher virtual-machine density with twice the on-chip resources and bandwidth
  • Designed for emerging NVMe over Fibre Channel storage networks
  • Low-profile form factor fits space-constrained servers

Questions about this item

Will the single 16 Gb port need a firmware update to stay compatible with newer NVMe storage arrays?

The adapter ships with firmware that supports current NVMe over Fibre Channel specifications; future array revisions may require updates from the vendor support portal.

What throughput ceiling appears first when the 16 Gb link runs at sustained load?

The 16 Gb Fibre Channel interface caps aggregate bandwidth at 16 Gb/s, so the port itself is the first bottleneck under continuous heavy I/O.

How much additional heat does the low-profile card contribute inside a server chassis under all-day operation?

The low-profile form factor draws power within standard PCIe slot limits, adding only modest heat that typical server airflow handles without extra cooling.
