Product Description
The IBM 24P0960 is a single-port Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that operates at 2Gb/s Fibre Channel speeds. This adapter is specifically designed for integration into IBM servers, providing a dedicated connection to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). The 2Gb/s speed, while lower than current standards, was a common and robust speed for enterprise storage connectivity during its era, offering sufficient bandwidth for many business-critical applications and storage access needs. Featuring a PCI Express (PCIe) interface, this HBA is compatible with modern server architectures that utilize the PCIe bus for expansion cards. The single-port design makes it a cost-effective solution for servers that require basic Fibre Channel connectivity without the need for dual-port redundancy or higher aggregate bandwidth. It allows servers to access shared storage resources, enabling centralized data management, improved storage utilization, and enhanced data protection. As an IBM-branded component, the 24P0960 ensures compatibility and reliability within the IBM server ecosystem. It is a crucial element for organizations utilizing IBM hardware and Fibre Channel storage, facilitating the connection between compute resources and storage arrays. This HBA is suitable for environments where 2Gb/s Fibre Channel is still supported or for legacy systems requiring this specific interface.
