Product Description
The IBM 00P4295, identified by its model number FC5704, is a dedicated Fibre Channel host adapter engineered for high-performance data transfer within Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter utilizes the PCI-X bus interface, which was prevalent in enterprise servers for its high bandwidth capabilities, ensuring rapid communication between the server and the SAN infrastructure. Featuring a single Fibre Channel port, this adapter operates at a speed of 2Gbps, providing a substantial throughput for demanding storage applications. It is designed to facilitate reliable and efficient connectivity for servers that require direct access to shared storage resources, such as disk arrays or tape libraries, over a Fibre Channel fabric. The adapter adheres to the Fibre Channel protocol, ensuring compatibility with standard SAN components. This IBM host adapter is a critical component for environments that rely on high-speed, low-latency access to storage. Its PCI-X interface makes it suitable for integration into servers equipped with this bus type, often found in older enterprise deployments. The 00P4295 serves as a reliable link for data-intensive operations, backups, and disaster recovery solutions where storage performance and availability are paramount.
