C9C50 - Dell 1GB iSCSI Dual Ports PCI-Express Low Profile iSCSI Host Bus Adapter

Description

The Dell C9C50 is a dual-port 1Gb/s iSCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to facilitate efficient and reliable network connectivity for iSCSI storage solutions. This adapter allows servers to connect to iSCSI storage arrays over standard Ethernet networks, offering a cost-effective alternative to Fibre Channel for certain applications. The 1Gb/s Ethernet interface provides sufficient bandwidth for many iSCSI-based storage tasks, making it suitable for small to medium-sized businesses or less performance-intensive enterprise workloads. Featuring two iSCSI ports, the C9C50 enables redundancy and load balancing for storage traffic, enhancing the reliability and availability of the iSCSI connection. The adapter utilizes a PCI Express x4 interface, which provides a dedicated high-bandwidth pathway to the server's motherboard, ensuring efficient data transfer between the server and the storage network. This configuration helps to minimize latency and improve the overall performance of iSCSI operations. The low-profile form factor of the Dell C9C50 makes it ideal for installation in compact server chassis, such as 1U rack servers or blade servers, where space is limited. This HBA is designed for easy integration into Dell server environments and supports standard networking protocols, simplifying deployment and management. It represents a practical solution for organizations seeking to leverage iSCSI technology for their storage needs.
