Product Description
The Dell 1280R Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a specialized network interface card designed to connect servers to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). Based on the robust QLogic QLA2200 controller, this adapter provides a reliable and high-performance link for accessing storage resources over a Fibre Channel fabric. The 1Gb/s Fibre Channel speed ensures efficient data throughput, which is crucial for demanding enterprise applications such as databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. This HBA utilizes a 64-bit PCI-X interface, a standard for many servers of its era, allowing for direct integration into compatible motherboards. The PCI-X bus offers higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to older PCI standards, enabling the HBA to operate at its full potential. The single-port design simplifies connectivity while still providing the necessary bandwidth for many storage configurations. Its compatibility with a wide range of operating systems and SAN management software further enhances its utility. The Dell 1280R is an ideal solution for organizations looking to upgrade or maintain existing Fibre Channel infrastructure without requiring a complete overhaul of their server hardware. It offers a cost-effective way to ensure reliable and fast access to shared storage, supporting critical business operations that depend on consistent and high-speed data availability. The QLogic chipset is known for its stability and performance in enterprise environments.
