Product Description
The IBM 74Y2996 is a sophisticated dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to deliver exceptional network throughput and reliability for enterprise-level environments. Equipped with two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) cages, this adapter allows for flexible deployment using various 10GbE transceivers, catering to different fiber optic cabling standards and distances. This card leverages the PCIe interface, typically operating at high bandwidths such as PCIe 2.0 x8 or x16, to ensure that the network adapter is not a bottleneck for data transfer. It supports the 10GBase-X standard, providing high-speed connectivity essential for data-intensive applications, server virtualization, high-performance computing clusters, and storage area networks (SANs). The 74Y2996 is engineered for seamless integration into IBM server platforms and other compatible systems, offering robust performance and advanced networking features. Its dual-port design enhances network redundancy and allows for link aggregation, further improving network availability and performance. This makes it a critical component for modern data centers requiring high-speed, reliable network infrastructure.
