Description
The IBM 42C1790 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed to deliver robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Featuring a single SFP+ port, this adapter is ideal for server environments requiring high bandwidth for demanding network tasks such as storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC), and data-intensive applications. The 10GBase-SR standard ensures compatibility with short-wavelength optical transceivers, typically used for connections over multi-mode fiber up to 300 meters. Equipped with a PCI Express (PCIe) x8 host interface, the 42C1790 leverages the high throughput capabilities of modern server motherboards. This ensures that the network adapter is not a bottleneck, allowing for maximum utilization of the 10Gb/s link speed. The adapter is designed for easy installation into standard PCIe slots, and often comes with support for both full-height and low-profile brackets to accommodate various server chassis types. This IBM network adapter is a reliable solution for upgrading server network infrastructure to meet the growing demands for speed and bandwidth. It provides the necessary performance for virtualization, data consolidation, and high-speed data transfers, making it a valuable component for data centers and enterprise networks seeking to enhance their network capabilities.
