Fibre Channel Technology
Fibre Channel technology is a high-speed network technology that was developed specifically for connecting computer systems to storage systems. It provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity between servers and storage devices, which is essential for data-intensive applications. Fibre Channel technology uses a dedicated network fabric that is separate from the main computer network to ensure that storage traffic does not compete with other network traffic.
PCI-Express 2.0 Interface
The Dell D0CW8 16GB Single Port PCI-Express 2.0 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is designed to work with a PCI-Express 2.0 slot. PCI-Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard that was designed to replace the older PCI and AGP bus standards. The PCI-Express 2.0 standard provides a maximum data transfer rate of 5 gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per lane, which is twice the speed of the original PCI-Express standard.
