Product Description
The Fujitsu FC42E LightPulse adapter is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides robust connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs) using Fibre Channel technology. This specific model operates at 4Gb/s, offering a significant bandwidth for demanding storage applications. The integration of Fibre Channel is essential for enterprise environments that require reliable, high-speed access to centralized storage resources, ensuring data integrity and availability for critical applications. Designed with a PCI Express x4 interface, the FC42E maximizes data transfer rates between the server and the SAN. The low-profile form factor is a key feature, allowing this adapter to be installed in compact server chassis, such as 1U or 2U rackmount systems, where space is often at a premium. Furthermore, the dual-channel design enhances performance by enabling simultaneous data transfers and provides a level of redundancy, ensuring continued operation even if one channel experiences an issue. This adapter supports Short Wave (SW) optics, which are typically used for shorter distances within a data center. The LightPulse technology integrated into Fujitsu's HBAs is known for its reliability and advanced features that contribute to efficient SAN management and performance optimization. By providing a stable and fast link to shared storage, the FC42E empowers servers to handle large datasets and intensive I/O operations effectively, making it a valuable component for virtualization, database servers, and other data-heavy workloads.
