Description

The EMC 103-053-100A is a specialized network interface card designed to facilitate storage connectivity using the iSCSI protocol over standard Gigabit Ethernet. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) allows block-level storage access over TCP/IP networks, effectively extending storage area network (SAN) capabilities to Ethernet infrastructure. This module provides two independent 1Gb/s Ethernet ports, enabling redundant or aggregated network paths for enhanced reliability and throughput. This controller module is typically installed within EMC storage arrays, such as those in the CLARiiON or VNX families. Its primary function is to present the storage capacity of the array to servers and clients over the network. By using iSCSI, organizations can leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure for storage networking, often reducing the cost and complexity associated with dedicated Fibre Channel networks. The dual-port design offers flexibility for network configuration. Administrators can implement link aggregation for increased bandwidth or set up separate network paths for failover, ensuring continuous access to storage resources. The module is designed to handle the iSCSI protocol efficiently, potentially offloading some processing from the host server's CPU, thereby improving overall system performance. This makes it a key component for enabling network-based storage solutions in environments utilizing EMC hardware.
