IBM BROCADE HBA 4GBIT PCI-E FC SINGLE PORT

The 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 networking As 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 Fabric Manager (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.
