Product Description
The HP 313879-B21, identified as the NC6170 server adapter, is a highly versatile networking card designed to provide dual connectivity options for servers. It uniquely combines support for both 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel protocols over its two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports. This dual-functionality allows a single adapter to serve multiple critical roles within a server infrastructure, simplifying hardware requirements and potentially reducing costs. Utilizing the PCI-X interface, the NC6170 is capable of delivering high bandwidth, which is essential for demanding server workloads. The 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet capability enables fast network communication for standard data traffic, file transfers, and internet access. Simultaneously, its Fiber Channel support allows the server to connect directly to Storage Area Networks (SANs), providing high-speed, low-latency access to storage resources critical for databases, virtualization, and other storage-intensive applications. The dual-port configuration enhances both performance and reliability. Servers can be connected to separate networks or storage fabrics, or the ports can be configured for link aggregation or failover, ensuring continuous operation. This makes the HP 313879-B21 NC6170 an effective solution for consolidating network and storage connectivity in environments where space, power, and management efficiency are important considerations.
