About This Part
The Part Number IBM00D8549 represents a high-performance 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) manufactured by IBM, engineered to facilitate robust and high-speed data transfer within enterprise data centre environments. This critical component typically comes in a standard PCIe form factor, enabling seamless integration into various server architectures. Its primary function is to provide reliable connectivity between host servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs), ensuring efficient access to shared storage resources. Operating at a data rate of 16Gbps per port, this IBM HBA supports the Fibre Channel protocol, delivering the necessary bandwidth for demanding applications such as virtualization, database management, and large-scale data analytics. It leverages a PCIe interface, commonly PCIe Gen3 x8, to ensure optimal throughput and minimal latency, thereby enhancing overall system performance and data integrity across the storage fabric. This 16Gb Fibre Channel HBA is typically deployed in mission-critical servers within data centres, connecting them to high-performance SAN infrastructure. It supports a wide array of network platforms, including enterprise-grade servers from various vendors, and is essential for building scalable and resilient storage solutions. Industries such as telecommunications, financial services, and large-scale cloud providers heavily rely on such adapters to manage vast amounts of data with low latency and high throughput. The IBM00D8549 solves common data centre challenges by eliminating storage I/O bottlenecks, improving application response times, and enabling efficient consolidation of storage resources. It serves as a crucial upgrade path for organizations looking to migrate from older 8Gb or 4Gb Fibre Channel infrastructures, or to enhance the performance and reliability of their existing storage networks, thereby future-proofing their data centre investments.
