About This Part
The Part Number IBM256042D050142D0507 represents a critical IBM component designed for high-performance data networking environments, specifically within Storage Area Networks (SANs). This particular unit is engineered to support 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) connectivity, a standard vital for enterprise-grade data transfer between servers and storage systems. As an integral part of IBM's extensive portfolio of networking and storage solutions, this component facilitates robust, low-latency communication. While the exact form factor may vary depending on its specific application—whether an SFP+ transceiver, a host bus adapter (HBA) module, or an embedded system board component—its primary function remains consistent: enabling rapid and reliable data throughput. It operates within the Fibre Channel protocol, ensuring efficient data flow for demanding applications such as virtualization, database management, and cloud computing infrastructure, where bandwidth and responsiveness are paramount. Deployment of components like the IBM256042D050142D0507 is typically found in data centers, large enterprise networks, and cloud service provider facilities. It is installed within Fibre Channel switches, host bus adapters in servers, or directly integrated into IBM storage arrays and server platforms to establish or expand high-speed SAN connectivity. This component is crucial for industries requiring continuous, high-volume data access, including financial services, telecommunications operators, healthcare, and government sectors. It effectively solves bottlenecks associated with slower data transfer rates, significantly improving application performance and data accessibility. Furthermore, it serves as an essential upgrade path for organizations transitioning from 4GFC or 2GFC environments, enabling them to leverage increased bandwidth and improve the overall efficiency and scalability of their existing infrastructure without a complete overhaul.
