Product Description
The Dell WY46N is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) equipped with the Emulex LPE31000 controller, offering 16Gb Fibre Channel connectivity. This adapter is designed to provide robust and efficient access to storage area networks (SANs) for Dell servers. The single-port configuration makes it suitable for environments where specific port requirements or cost-effectiveness are key considerations, while still delivering the high throughput necessary for demanding enterprise workloads. Operating at 16Gb/s, this HBA significantly enhances data transfer speeds compared to older Fibre Channel generations, reducing latency and improving application performance. The adapter utilizes the PCI Express interface, ensuring a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard, which is critical for maximizing the performance of the Fibre Channel link. Its design is optimized for reliability and stability, making it a dependable component for mission-critical server deployments. The Low Profile (LP) form factor of the WY46N allows it to be installed in a wider range of servers, including those with limited internal space, such as blade servers or 1U rackmount systems. This versatility, combined with the advanced capabilities of the Emulex LPE31000 controller, makes the WY46N an excellent choice for upgrading or expanding server connectivity to Fibre Channel SANs, ensuring efficient and high-speed data access.
