Description

The Dell PX2810403-78 is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) based on the QLogic QLE2560 chipset. This adapter is engineered to deliver robust and reliable connectivity to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) at speeds of up to 8 Gigabits per second (Gb/s). With a single SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port, it allows for flexible connection to the SAN infrastructure using various SFP transceivers, depending on the required distance and fiber type. The adapter utilizes a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 x8 interface, providing ample bandwidth to support the 8Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds without becoming a bottleneck. The PCIe 2.0 standard offers a significant improvement in throughput over earlier versions, ensuring efficient data transfer between the server and the storage array. Its low-profile form factor makes it suitable for installation in a wide range of server chassis, including dense blade servers and standard rack-mount systems that may have limited internal space. This HBA is crucial for environments that rely on Fibre Channel SANs for their storage needs, such as enterprise data centers, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. By providing a dedicated, high-speed path to storage, the Dell QLE2560 HBA ensures low latency and high throughput for critical applications and data access, contributing to overall system performance and reliability.
