708062-001 HPE 8GB Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

A Fibre Channel HBA is a hardware device that allows servers to connect to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). It is essentially an interface card that plugs into a server’s PCIe slot and connects to the SAN through a Fibre Channel switch. The HBA acts as a mediator between the server and the SAN, allowing the server to access data on storage devices connected to the SAN.

Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology that is designed to provide reliable, high-bandwidth data transfers between servers and storage devices. It is widely used in enterprise data centers for mission-critical applications, such as database management, virtualization, and data backup and recovery.
