LENOVO 39R6528 – QLogic 4Gb FC Dual-Port PCIe HBA for IBM System x

Detailed Description:

The LENOVO 39R6528 is a QLogic 4Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Dual-Port Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed specifically for use with IBM System x servers. This PCIe-based HBA provides high-speed connectivity to FC networks, facilitating the transfer of large volumes of data between servers and storage devices. It is equipped with two ports, allowing for redundancy and increased throughput potential. The dual-port design is particularly beneficial in environments where continuous access to data is critical, as it provides failover capabilities in the event of a port failure. This HBA supports transfer rates of up to 4 Gbps per port, which is optimal for applications such as multimedia streaming, database access, and backup operations. It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows Server, Linux, and VMWare, making it a versatile choice for diverse IT environments. The 39R6528 also features advanced security measures, such as hardware-based encryption, ensuring that data transmitted over the FC network is protected against unauthorized access. Installation and management are simplified through comprehensive driver support and tools, allowing IT administrators to easily integrate the HBA into existing infrastructure.
