Product Description
The IBM 42D0495 is a high-performance dual-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) manufactured by Emulex. This adapter is designed to provide reliable and high-speed connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs), which are critical for enterprise data storage and management. Each of the two ports operates at 8Gb/s, offering significant bandwidth for data transfer between servers and storage arrays. Utilizing a PCI Express (PCIe) x4 interface, the HBA ensures efficient communication with the server's motherboard, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing storage I/O performance. The dual-channel design provides redundancy and increased throughput, allowing for failover capabilities and the ability to handle multiple simultaneous storage operations. This makes it a robust solution for mission-critical applications that demand high availability and performance. This Emulex HBA, identified by the IBM SKU 42D0495, is commonly found in IBM System x servers and other enterprise-class systems. It is essential for environments that rely on Fibre Channel technology for their SAN infrastructure, enabling seamless integration with storage devices and ensuring the efficient flow of data for demanding workloads.
