Product Description
The IBM 03N6440 is a specialized Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to provide robust connectivity to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). This adapter features a single Fibre Channel port that operates at a speed of 2 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), offering a dedicated and high-performance pathway for servers to access storage resources. Its primary function is to translate server I/O commands into Fibre Channel protocol, enabling seamless integration with SAN infrastructure. Designed with a low-profile form factor, the 03N6440 is ideal for installation in dense server environments, such as 1U or 2U rack-mount servers, where space is at a premium. This allows organizations to add high-speed storage connectivity without compromising on server density. The adapter utilizes the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, ensuring sufficient bandwidth and low latency for demanding storage workloads, including databases, virtualization, and critical business applications. As an IBM component, the 03N6440 is optimized for compatibility with IBM servers and storage solutions, though it may also function in other systems that support standard PCIe HBAs. It requires appropriate Fibre Channel cabling and transceivers (SFPs) to establish a physical link to the SAN fabric. This HBA represents a reliable solution for businesses seeking to enhance their storage connectivity with the performance and stability of Fibre Channel technology.
