Product Description
The IBM 42D0516HP is a high-performance dual-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that leverages QLogic's QLE2562 controller technology. This adapter is designed to provide robust connectivity between servers and storage area networks (SANs), ensuring efficient and reliable data transfer. It features a PCI Express interface for high-speed communication with the server's motherboard. The dual-port design offers redundancy and increased bandwidth, crucial for mission-critical applications and high-availability environments. The inclusion of two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers means it's ready for immediate connection to Fibre Channel infrastructure. While listed under an IBM part number, the 'HP' designation and the QLogic controller suggest compatibility or specific bundling for HP server environments. This HBA is essential for servers that need to access shared storage resources over a Fibre Channel SAN, providing the necessary bandwidth and reliability for demanding enterprise workloads.
