A host bus adapter (HBA) is the interface card in a host, which connects a server to a Fibre Channel network.
The card that fits into a computer, server, or mainframe that links it via Fibre Channel or SCSI to a storage device or storage network.
A circuit board and/or integrated circuit device that provides a SCSI bus connection to the computer system.
(HBA) (n.) A controller board that connects the I/O expansion bus to the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) subsystem.
A component which connects a host in/out bus to a computer's memory.
An adapter card that includes all of the I/O logic, software, and processing to manage the transfer of information between the host computer's bus and the Fibre Channel loop.
The HBA relieves the host microprocessor of data storage and retrieval tasks, usually improving the computer's performance time. An HBA and its disk subsystems make up a disk channel.
A Fibre Channel connection that allows a workstation to attach to the SAN network.
An I/O adapter that connects a host I/O bus to the host¡¦s memory system.
