The 42D0501 IBM Qlogic 8GBPS Single Port PCI-E X4 Fibre Channel HBA for System-X is a high-performance network interface card designed for System-X servers. It is a type of Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that provides connectivity between servers and storage devices using a Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the 42D0501 IBM Qlogic HBA and its role in enterprise storage networks.
FeaturesThe 42D0501 IBM Qlogic HBA is a single-port HBA that provides a data transfer rate of 8Gbps. It supports PCI Express (PCI-E) x4 interface, which allows it to communicate with the server at high speeds. The HBA is compatible with System-X servers and supports Windows, Linux, and VMware operating systems. It is equipped with Qlogic's unique Dynamic Power Management (DPM) technology, which optimizes power consumption by reducing power usage during periods of low link activity. The HBA is also designed to provide reliable and secure connectivity to storage devices, with support for multiple FC topologies, including point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric.
BenefitsThe 42D0501 IBM Qlogic HBA offers several benefits for enterprise storage networks. The HBA's high data transfer rate of 8Gbps ensures that data is transferred quickly and efficiently between servers and storage devices. This is particularly important for large-scale storage environments where data volumes can be massive. The HBA's PCI-E x4 interface enables it to communicate with the server at high speeds, ensuring that there are no bottlenecks in the data transfer process.
The HBA's compatibility with System-X servers and support for multiple operating systems makes it easy to integrate into existing IT infrastructure. This means that businesses can deploy the HBA without worrying about compatibility issues or additional software installations. The HBA's support for multiple FC topologies provides businesses with flexibility in designing their storage networks. Businesses can choose the topology that best suits their needs, whether it's point-to-point, arbitrated loop, or switched fabric.
Qlogic's DPM technology reduces power consumption, which can help businesses save on energy costs. The technology ensures that the HBA uses only the power that is needed, resulting in lower energy consumption during periods of low link activity. This can be particularly beneficial in large-scale storage environments where there are many HBAs and storage devices.
In Summary, The 42D0501 IBM Qlogic 8GBPS Single Port PCI-E X4 Fibre Channel HBA for System-X is a high-performance network interface card designed for enterprise storage networks. It offers a high data transfer rate of 8Gbps, PCI-E x4 interface, and compatibility with System-X servers and multiple operating systems. The HBA's support for multiple FC topologies and Qlogic's DPM technology make it a versatile and energy-efficient solution for large-scale storage environments. Overall, the 42D0501 IBM Qlogic HBA is an excellent choice for businesses looking for reliable and high-performance connectivity between servers and storage devices.
