35L1310 - IBM 64-Bit PCI Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter with GBIC Adapter

Description

The IBM 35L1310 is a robust Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to facilitate high-performance connectivity between servers and Storage Area Networks (SANs). Featuring a 64-bit PCI interface, this adapter is engineered to deliver substantial bandwidth, which is critical for demanding enterprise environments where rapid data access and efficient storage management are paramount. The 64-bit architecture allows for faster data throughput compared to older 32-bit interfaces, ensuring that servers can communicate with storage devices without becoming a bottleneck. This HBA utilizes Fibre Channel technology, a standard protocol for high-speed data transfer in SANs. Fibre Channel offers reliable, low-latency, and high-bandwidth communication, making it the preferred choice for mission-critical applications and large-scale storage infrastructures. The inclusion of an integrated GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) adapter simplifies the setup process by providing a ready-to-use connection point for Fibre Channel transceivers, further streamlining the integration into existing SAN environments. The IBM 35L1310 is specifically targeted at server environments that require dependable and high-speed access to shared storage resources. Its design focuses on stability and performance, ensuring that data integrity is maintained during transfer. By enabling efficient communication with storage arrays, this HBA plays a crucial role in optimizing application performance, supporting data backup and recovery operations, and enhancing overall IT infrastructure efficiency.
