80-1001643-03 - Brocade 825 8GB Dual Port PCI Express Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter with Standard Bracket

Description

The Brocade 80-1001643-03, identified as the Brocade 825 model, is a high-performance dual-port 8Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This adapter is engineered to provide robust and efficient connectivity for servers to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). The dual-port design offers enhanced reliability through redundancy and can increase overall throughput by allowing for load balancing across both ports, which is critical for mission-critical enterprise applications. With its 8Gb/s Fibre Channel speed, the HBA delivers substantial bandwidth necessary for demanding storage I/O operations. It is designed to minimize latency and maximize data transfer rates, ensuring that servers can access storage resources quickly and efficiently. This performance is crucial for applications such as databases, virtualization, and other I/O-intensive workloads that require consistent and rapid data access. The Brocade 825 HBA integrates into servers via a PCI Express interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of server platforms. Brocade is known for its reliable and high-performance networking solutions, and this adapter upholds that reputation by providing a stable and efficient link to the SAN, thereby supporting the overall performance and availability of the storage infrastructure.
