Product Description
The Sun 501-5266-04 is a Dual Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for integration into Sun Microsystems servers that utilize the SBus expansion architecture. This adapter is equipped with two Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at FC100 speeds, which corresponds to a data transfer rate of 100 Megabytes per second (MB/s) per port. The dual-port configuration is a key feature, enabling users to establish redundant connections to their storage infrastructure or to aggregate bandwidth for more demanding I/O operations. This HBA serves as a critical component for connecting Sun servers to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). Fibre Channel technology is the standard for high-performance, reliable storage networking in enterprise data centers, offering low latency and high throughput. The FC-AL topology supported by this card allows for direct connections between devices or a shared loop configuration, facilitating access to SAN resources like disk arrays and tape libraries. By installing the 501-5266-04, organizations can extend the capabilities of their Sun servers, allowing them to leverage the benefits of SANs, including centralized storage management, improved data availability, and enhanced performance for storage-intensive applications. The SBus interface signifies that this adapter is intended for use with older generations of Sun SPARC systems, providing a pathway to modern storage solutions for legacy hardware.
