Product Description
The IBM 42C1831 is a high-performance Converged Network Adapter (CNA) designed to consolidate network and storage traffic onto a single adapter. This dual-port card provides two 10Gb/s SFP+ interfaces, enabling high-speed Ethernet connectivity for demanding enterprise applications. By supporting Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), it allows for the transmission of storage area network (SAN) traffic over the same Ethernet infrastructure, simplifying network architecture and reducing the number of adapters required in a server. This adapter is built on a PCIe interface, typically requiring an x8 or x16 slot for full bandwidth utilization. The 10Gb/s speed per port makes it suitable for environments with high I/O demands, such as virtualization hosts, database servers, and high-performance computing clusters. The convergence of Ethernet and FCoE capabilities helps to reduce cabling, power consumption, and overall infrastructure complexity within the data center. The IBM 42C1831 is engineered for enterprise-grade performance and reliability. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with IBM servers and other compatible systems, offering robust drivers and management support. This CNA is an ideal solution for organizations looking to upgrade their network infrastructure to support higher bandwidth requirements and streamline their storage connectivity.
