Host Bus Adapters

Choose a Compellent HBA by controller and by role: Dell's SC9000 manual designates the I/O cards in a storage controller as front-end ports, the Fibre Channel or iSCSI cards hosts connect to, or back-end ports, the SAS cards that connect expansion enclosures. Compellent HBAs are -CML versions of standard cards for SC8000, SC9000, SC5020 and SC7020 controllers: QLogic Fibre Channel and Chelsio 10Gb iSCSI cards on the front end and LSI SAS cards on the back end, each tested in-house. Controllers are on Compellent Controllers, and cards for servers under host bus adapters for servers, including SAS HBAs and Fibre Channel HBAs.
