Product Description
The IBM FC-AC0B is a high-performance Fibre Channel host interface solution, provided as a pair of cards to ensure redundancy and increased port density. Each card features four 16 Gbps Fibre Channel ports, offering a total of eight ports when used together. This configuration is ideal for environments requiring extensive connectivity to storage area networks (SANs) and demanding high throughput for data-intensive applications. Leveraging the PCI Express interface, these cards deliver the bandwidth necessary to support the full speed of the 16 Gbps Fibre Channel links. They are designed to work with standard Fibre Channel SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, allowing for flexibility in choosing the appropriate optical modules based on distance and network requirements. The pair configuration inherently supports redundant paths, enhancing the resilience and availability of the storage infrastructure. These host interface cards are crucial components for servers connecting to enterprise-grade SANs, enabling efficient and low-latency access to shared storage resources. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including virtualization, database management, and high-performance computing, where reliable and fast storage I/O is paramount. The FC-AC0B pair represents a robust solution for modern data centers seeking to maximize storage performance and uptime.
