Product Description
The IBM 95Y2378 is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered for enterprise environments that rely on Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). Equipped with two 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, this card enables servers to connect to storage arrays at high speeds, facilitating efficient data access and transfer. The use of Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate optical or copper cabling for the SAN infrastructure. Leveraging the PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, the 95Y2378 provides ample bandwidth to support the high throughput demands of modern storage applications. This interface ensures that the HBA can communicate effectively with the server's CPU and memory, minimizing bottlenecks during intensive I/O operations. The dual-port design offers redundancy, allowing for failover configurations to maintain data availability in the event of a port or cable failure. This HBA is crucial for applications requiring high availability and performance, such as database servers, virtualization environments, and high-performance computing clusters. Its robust design and adherence to Fibre Channel standards ensure reliable and secure connectivity to storage resources. The IBM 95Y2378 is a key component for building scalable and resilient storage infrastructures.
