Dell 0998162-03 10G-ISCSI-2 Type A Storage Controller

Product Description

The Dell 0998162-03 is a specialized storage controller engineered to facilitate high-speed data transfer over a network using the iSCSI protocol. With its 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface, this controller enables servers to access storage resources located on a Storage Area Network (SAN) with performance comparable to direct-attached storage. The 'Type A' designation likely refers to a specific physical connector or form factor relevant to Dell's server architecture. This controller is crucial for environments that require robust and scalable storage solutions. By leveraging iSCSI, it allows for the consolidation of storage resources, providing centralized management and efficient utilization. The 10Gbps speed is essential for demanding applications such as virtualization, databases, and high-performance computing, where low latency and high throughput are critical for optimal performance. Designed as a component for Dell servers, the 0998162-03 ensures seamless integration and reliable operation within the Dell ecosystem. It represents a key element in building modern, high-performance storage infrastructures, offering a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional Fibre Channel SANs.
