Description
Product Overview about the IBM 00D9117
The IBM 00D9117 Emulex 10GBPS 2-Ports III for IBM System X Network Adapter is a hardware component that allows for high-speed data transmission between computers and network devices. In this article, we will explain what this adapter is, what it is used for, and its features and benefits.
The IBM 00D9117 Emulex 10GBPS 2-Ports III for IBM System X Network Adapter is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed for use with IBM System X servers. It has two ports and is capable of delivering up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) of network bandwidth. The adapter is based on Emulex’s OneConnect Universal Converged Network Adapter (UCNA) architecture, which allows for the simultaneous transmission of data, storage, and high-definition video over a single Ethernet connection.
Features of the IBM Network Adapter
The IBM 00D9117 Emulex 10GBPS 2-Ports III for IBM System X Network Adapter has several features that make it a popular choice for high-performance computing environments. Some of these features include:
- Dual-Port 10Gbps Ethernet The adapter has two 10Gbps Ethernet ports, which allow for high-speed data transmission between servers and network devices.
- PCI Express 3.0 The adapter uses the PCI Express 3.0 interface, which provides a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection between the adapter and the server.
- Low Latency The adapter has low latency, which means that data can be transmitted quickly between the server and network devices.
- Support for Virtualization The adapter is designed to work with virtualization technologies, such as VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM, which allows for the creation of virtual machines that can share network resources.
- iSCSI Offload The adapter supports iSCSI offload, which offloads the processing of iSCSI commands from the server’s CPU to the adapter, which improves performance and reduces CPU utilization.
