Product Description
The IBM FC-AH10, identified by part number 31P1811, is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter engineered to facilitate robust connectivity within Storage Area Networks (SANs). Featuring four independent Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at a blazing 8 Gbps, this adapter provides substantial aggregate bandwidth. This makes it an ideal solution for environments requiring high I/O throughput, such as enterprise servers hosting critical databases, virtualization platforms, and high-performance computing clusters. This HBA utilizes the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, ensuring a high-speed connection to the host system's motherboard. The inclusion of Fibre Channel SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports allows for flexible deployment, as the type of optical transceiver can be chosen based on the specific network requirements, such as distance and fiber type. The adapter is designed for seamless integration into IBM and other compatible server environments, offering a reliable pathway for data transmission between servers and storage devices. With its multi-port design and high-speed capabilities, the IBM FC-AH10 is built to enhance the performance and scalability of SAN infrastructure. It supports advanced Fibre Channel features, ensuring data integrity and efficient communication. This adapter is a critical component for organizations looking to build or upgrade their SANs with reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity, enabling faster data access and improved application responsiveness.
