Product Description
The IBM 81Y5398 is a high-performance dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC). It is designed to provide high-speed network connectivity for IBM servers and compatible workstations, utilizing the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface for its network connections. This allows for flexible deployment using various types of SFP+ transceivers (e.g., SR for short-range optical, LR for long-range optical, or DAC for direct attach copper), which are typically sold separately. With two 10GbE ports, this card is ideal for demanding network environments that require significant bandwidth. Applications include high-performance computing clusters, data center networking, server aggregation, and high-speed storage access. The PCI Express interface ensures a high-bandwidth connection to the host system, preventing bottlenecks and maximizing network throughput. The 81Y5398 enables robust network infrastructure by providing redundancy through its dual ports, allowing for link aggregation (LAG) or failover configurations. This enhances network reliability and performance for critical applications. It is a key component for modernizing network infrastructure and supporting data-intensive workloads.
