Product Description
The Dell 35GC9, based on the Brocade 825 chipset, is a high-performance dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA). It is designed to provide robust and efficient connectivity between servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). Each of the two ports operates at a speed of 8Gb/s, offering substantial bandwidth for demanding storage I/O operations. This makes it suitable for enterprise environments that rely on high-speed, reliable access to shared storage resources. The adapter utilizes a PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, ensuring a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard. The low-profile form factor is particularly important for dense server environments, such as blade servers or 1U/2U rackmount servers, where space is at a premium. This design allows the HBA to be installed in servers that cannot accommodate full-height expansion cards. As a dedicated Fibre Channel HBA, the Brocade 825 is optimized for SAN connectivity, offering features that enhance performance, reliability, and manageability. It supports various Fibre Channel protocols and features essential for enterprise SANs, including error detection and correction, flow control, and potentially features like NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) for improved scalability. The dual-port design also provides redundancy, allowing for failover configurations to ensure continuous access to storage in case of a port or cable failure.
