Host Channel Adapter
Last modified: Friday, May 11, 2007 

Abbreviated as HCA, Host Channel Adapter is a network fabric interconnect based on InfiniBand technology (which provides the specification for the transmission of data between processors and I/O devices). It provides a computer with port connection to other InfiniBand devices. That port can be connected to another HCA, a target device, or an InfiniBand switch fabric that redirects the data coming in on one of its ports out to a device attached to another of its ports.

The Real Cost of Storage
This is the first in a two-part series that looks at the real cost of storage. The cost of storage is not just the cost of the drives and the RAID controller, but also includes the power costs for the drives and the cooling of the air because of the heat the drives create, among other costs.
