46M6138 - IBM EMULEX 8GB Dual Port Fibre Channel EXPANSION Card (CIOV) for IBM B

Description

The IBM 46M6138 is a dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to provide high-speed connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Each of the two ports on this adapter operates at a data transfer rate of 8Gb/s, enabling rapid and efficient communication between servers and storage devices. This high bandwidth is crucial for demanding enterprise applications that rely on fast access to large volumes of data, such as databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. Featuring a PCI Express 2.0 interface, the 46M6138 ensures a high-bandwidth connection to the server's motherboard, allowing the HBA to operate at its full potential without becoming a bottleneck. The PCIe 2.0 standard offers significant throughput, complementing the 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports. This adapter is designed to be installed in standard PCIe slots found in most modern servers. As an enterprise-grade component, the IBM 46M6138 is built for reliability and performance in mission-critical environments. It facilitates robust SAN connectivity, enabling organizations to build scalable and high-performing storage infrastructures. The dual-port design also offers redundancy and increased bandwidth options for critical connections, making it a versatile solution for various enterprise storage needs.
