Achieve a lower total cost of ownership

Facing relentless data growth and shrinking budgets, companies continue 
to look for ways to reduce costs through efficiencies. The advent of  
8 Gbps Fibre Channel allows companies to reduce the number of host 
bus adapters (HBAs) per server and the number of overall ports in their 
Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure without sacrificing performance, thus 
saving on both acquisition and operational costs.
