Description
The IBM 2CE3 is a powerful quad-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) network adapter designed for high-performance computing and data center environments. It features four 10GbE SR (Short Reach) optical ports, which are designed for high-speed communication over short distances, typically using multi-mode fiber optic cables and compatible transceivers. This adapter is engineered to provide substantial network bandwidth, enabling rapid data transfer and efficient communication between servers and network infrastructure. The adapter connects to the host system via a PCI Express 3.0 x8 interface. This provides a high-bandwidth pathway, ensuring that the adapter can deliver the full performance of its four 10GbE ports without becoming a bottleneck. The PCIe 3.0 standard offers double the bandwidth of PCIe 2.0, making it ideal for high-throughput network cards. The full-height form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard server chassis. The IBM 2CE3 is an excellent choice for applications requiring massive data throughput, such as large-scale data storage, high-frequency trading platforms, high-performance computing clusters, and virtualization environments. Its multiple ports allow for network aggregation, load balancing, and redundancy, enhancing both performance and reliability. The use of SR optical ports requires the installation of compatible SFP+ SR transceivers, which are typically sold separately.
