Product Description
The IBM 46M6168 is a high-performance Ethernet expansion card designed to significantly boost the network throughput of compatible IBM servers. Featuring two dedicated 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this card provides substantial bandwidth for data-intensive applications, high-performance computing clusters, and demanding enterprise network environments. The dual-port design allows for network redundancy, load balancing, or connection to separate network segments, enhancing both reliability and performance. This expansion card utilizes the PCI Express Gen2 interface, ensuring high-speed communication with the server's motherboard. The PCIe Gen2 x8 or x16 slot provides the necessary bandwidth to support the full 10Gb/s speed of both ports simultaneously. This makes it an ideal upgrade for servers that require faster network access for storage area networks (SANs), virtualization, large file transfers, or real-time data processing. Engineered by IBM, the 46M6168 is built to meet the rigorous standards of enterprise computing, offering reliability and compatibility with IBM's server ecosystem. Depending on the specific variant, the ports may be SFP+ for fiber optic connections or RJ45 for copper Ethernet cabling, providing flexibility in network deployment. This card is a crucial component for organizations looking to maximize their server's network capabilities and ensure efficient data flow.
