303-195-100C-01 - EMC Slic28 VNX Series 2-Port 10Gb/s Optical I/O Module

Product Description

The EMC Slic28 (part number 303-195-100C-01) is a specialized I/O (Input/Output) module designed for the EMC VNX series of unified storage systems. This module provides two high-speed 10 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) optical ports, enabling fast and efficient network connectivity for storage access. It is crucial for environments that require high bandwidth and low latency for data-intensive applications, such as virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing. The Slic28 module utilizes SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interfaces, meaning that the actual optical transceivers (e.g., 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR) are purchased separately and can be chosen based on the specific network requirements, such as distance and fiber type. This modularity allows for flexibility in network design and deployment. The module integrates seamlessly into the VNX storage array, expanding its network capabilities and enhancing its performance for client access. Key technical specifications include its dual 10Gb/s optical ports, designed to connect the VNX storage system to the network infrastructure. The use of SFP+ ports ensures compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard 10GbE transceivers. The module is specifically engineered for the VNX platform, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for enterprise storage solutions. It plays a vital role in enabling high-speed data transfers between servers and the storage array, contributing to overall system efficiency and responsiveness.
