Product Description
The IBM 2858-1014 is a high-performance dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides robust connectivity for enterprise storage area networks (SANs). This adapter leverages the PCI Express X4 interface, offering superior bandwidth and lower latency compared to older bus technologies, which is essential for demanding storage applications. Each of the two Fibre Channel ports operates at a speed of 4Gb/s, enabling rapid data transfer between servers and storage devices. Designed for reliability and performance, the 2858-1014 ensures high availability for critical data access. The dual-port configuration allows for redundant connections to the SAN fabric, mitigating the risk of downtime due to a single port or cable failure. This feature is crucial for mission-critical applications where continuous operation is paramount, such as in database management, virtualization, and high-transaction environments. As an IBM-branded component, this HBA is optimized for integration within IBM server environments and is also compatible with a wide range of other systems that support PCI Express. It supports advanced Fibre Channel features and protocols, ensuring efficient communication with enterprise-grade storage arrays and switches. The 4Gb/s speed makes it a capable solution for environments that require fast and dependable access to shared storage resources.
