IBM 95Y2389 FC5052 2 x Ports 16Gb Fibre Channel Adapter

Product Description

The IBM 95Y2389 is a powerful dual-port Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to meet the high-bandwidth requirements of modern enterprise storage networks. Featuring two 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, this adapter significantly boosts the performance of servers connecting to Storage Area Networks (SANs). The 16Gbps speed per port offers substantial throughput, enabling faster data access, reduced latency, and improved application performance for I/O-intensive workloads. This adapter, identified by the model FC5052, is engineered for reliability and efficiency in demanding data center environments. It allows for robust connectivity, supporting critical business applications that rely on fast and consistent access to storage. The dual-port design provides redundancy and the flexibility to connect to multiple SAN fabrics or storage controllers, enhancing both availability and network design options. By providing a high-speed interface, the IBM 95Y2389 facilitates efficient data movement, crucial for tasks such as large-scale data backups, high-transaction databases, and virtualization environments. Its integration into servers ensures that storage performance is not a bottleneck, allowing organizations to maximize the potential of their storage investments and maintain optimal operational efficiency.
