03N4698 - IBM 2Gbps 1-Port PCI-X LC Fibre Channel Adapter (LP) (RS FC 1957)

Description

The IBM 03N4698 is a single-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide servers with high-speed connectivity to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). Operating at a data transfer rate of 2Gb/s, this adapter ensures efficient and reliable access to storage resources, which is crucial for enterprise applications and data-intensive workloads. The adapter utilizes the PCI Express interface, offering a significant performance advantage over older bus architectures by providing higher bandwidth and lower latency. This HBA is specifically designed for IBM server environments and is built to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise storage connectivity. The single-port configuration makes it a cost-effective solution for servers that require dedicated Fibre Channel access without the need for dual-port redundancy. It facilitates the connection of servers to various storage devices, such as disk arrays and tape libraries, through the Fibre Channel fabric. The IBM 03N4698 is engineered for stability and performance, ensuring that data can be transferred quickly and securely between the server and its storage. Its compatibility with IBM's server platforms and its adherence to Fibre Channel standards make it a reliable choice for organizations looking to implement or expand their SAN infrastructure. This adapter is essential for maintaining high availability and performance for critical business data.
