IBM 39J3927 – GX DUAL-PORT 4X IB HCA

Detailed Description:

The IBM 39J3927 GX Dual-Port 4x IB HCA is a high-speed networking card designed to enhance the connectivity and data transfer rates for servers and high-performance computing systems. Standing for Host Channel Adapter, HCA is integral to InfiniBand networks, which are known for their high throughput and low latency. This particular model features two ports capable of 4x InfiniBand connectivity, making it an excellent choice for systems that require fast, efficient, and reliable communication between nodes in a clustered environment or within a data center. The GX interface ensures seamless compatibility and maximizes the throughput between the adapter and the server’s chipset. Ideal for applications ranging from scientific computing to financial services, where fast data processing and transport are paramount, the IBM 39J3927 is designed to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of data-intensive tasks. Its support for advanced features like RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) further enhances its performance capabilities, enabling direct memory access from one computer into that of another without involving either one’s operating system. This results in significant efficiencies, further bolstering its appeal to organizations with substantial data throughput requirements.
