90Y4600 - IBM QLogic 8200 Dual Port 10GbE PCI Express SFP+ VFA Network Adapter for System x

Description

The IBM 90Y4600 is a high-performance Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to provide dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This card is equipped with two SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) ports, which allow for flexible network connections using various SFP+ transceivers, including those for fiber optic cables (like SR, LR) or direct attach copper (DAC) cables. The SFP+ interface is the standard for 10GbE networking, offering high bandwidth and reliability. Featuring a PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface, the 90Y4600 ensures sufficient bandwidth to support the full throughput of both 10Gb/s ports simultaneously. This makes it suitable for demanding network environments such as data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise networks where fast data transfer rates and low latency are critical. The card adheres to the 10GBase-X Ethernet standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. This IBM NIC is an essential component for servers and workstations that require robust and high-speed network connectivity. It enables faster access to storage, improved communication between servers, and enhanced performance for network-intensive applications like virtualization, video streaming, and large data analysis. The dual-port design also allows for network redundancy or link aggregation, further enhancing network reliability and performance.
