IBM 59Y1993 – Brocade 4Gb FC Dual-port HBA for IBM System x

IBM Brocade 4Gb FC 2-port HBA. Internal. Connectivity technology: Wired, Host interface: PCI Express, Interface: Fiber. Maximum data transfer rate: 4000 Mbit/sThe Brocade 4 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) single-port and dual-port host bus adapters (HBAs) provide a new level of server connectivity through unmatched hardware and unique software features and performance.End-to-end storage networkingAs part of the Brocade DCF architecture, the Brocade single- and dual-port HBAs lay the foundation for extending fabric intelligence to servers, virtual machines and applications—enabling end-to-end stor-age network management. Organizations have a platform to extend traditional Brocade fabric technologies—such as Quality of Service, port trunking, load balancing, authentication, and encryption—to the HBA and server level.Brocade HBAs in IBM® System x® servers enable the use of NPIV and Adaptive Networking and provide Quality of Service (QoS) from the virtual port throughout the fabric. Brocade Data Center FabricManager (DCFM) provides a unified, end-to-end management across fabrics with unique features such as virtual machine visibility, and real-time performance monitoring. DCFM is integrated with IBM Systems Director.
