IBM 90Y5100 2-Port 10Gb/s SFP+ Gigabit Ethernet 10GBase-X Network Card

Product Description

The IBM 90Y5100 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) that provides two 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports using the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface. This adapter is designed to deliver exceptional network throughput and low latency, making it suitable for demanding server and workstation environments. The dual-port configuration offers redundancy and increased bandwidth capacity, allowing for efficient handling of large data transfers and high volumes of network traffic. Each of the two SFP+ ports supports 10Gb/s speeds, enabling rapid communication between the host system and the network. The SFP+ interface provides flexibility, as users can choose from a variety of compatible transceivers (sold separately) to match their specific network infrastructure requirements, whether for short-reach (SR) or long-reach (LR) connections. This adaptability makes the 90Y5100 a versatile solution for diverse networking needs. This network card is an excellent choice for applications such as virtualization, storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC), and data-intensive enterprise workloads. Its ability to provide high-speed, reliable network connectivity ensures that servers and workstations can operate at peak efficiency, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing productivity. The hot-pluggable nature of SFP+ modules further enhances its suitability for enterprise environments where uptime and ease of maintenance are critical.
