00E9283 - IBM 2-Ports 16Gb/s PCI Express 2.0 x8 Sfp Fibre Channel Network Adapter

Description

The IBM 00E9283 is a high-performance dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide robust connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Each of its two ports operates at a blazing 16 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), enabling extremely fast data transfers between servers and storage devices. This high throughput is essential for demanding enterprise applications that require rapid access to large volumes of data, such as databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing environments. The adapter utilizes a PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2) x8 interface, which provides ample bandwidth to support the full speed of both 16Gb/s Fibre Channel ports simultaneously. The use of SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) connectors allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate optical transceivers based on the required distance and type of fiber optic cabling used in the SAN infrastructure. This HBA is a critical component for any server that needs to connect to an enterprise-grade SAN. It ensures low latency and high reliability for storage access, which is fundamental for maintaining application performance and data integrity. The dual-port design also offers redundancy, allowing for connection to two separate SAN fabrics or switches to enhance availability and fault tolerance.
