Product Description
The IBM 42C2182 is a dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide high-speed connectivity for servers within a Storage Area Network (SAN). Operating at 4Gb/s per port, this adapter ensures efficient data transfer between the server and storage devices, making it suitable for a wide range of enterprise applications that rely on fast and reliable access to storage resources. Utilizing the PCI Express interface, the 42C2182 leverages the high bandwidth capabilities of modern server architectures. This allows for maximum throughput and minimal latency, which is critical for performance-sensitive workloads such as databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. The dual-port configuration offers redundancy, allowing for failover in case one path to the storage fails, thereby enhancing the overall availability of the system. As an IBM product, the 42C2182 is built to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise data centers, offering robust performance and reliability. It is an essential component for organizations looking to build or upgrade their SAN infrastructure, ensuring that servers can communicate effectively and efficiently with storage arrays. This HBA provides a solid foundation for scalable and high-performing storage solutions.
