IBM 09P2098 – Gigabit Ethernet Adapter SX

Detailed Description:

The IBM 09P2098 represents a critical component for enhancing network connectivity and performance in enterprise environments. This Gigabit Ethernet Adapter utilizes the SX (short wavelength) standard, which allows it to operate over multimode fiber optics, enabling high-speed data transmission across relatively short distances, such as within a data center or between buildings in a campus setting. Designed for compatibility with select IBM servers, this adapter facilitates data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for high-volume transaction environments, streaming high-definition content, and managing large databases efficiently. Its integration into supported IBM systems allows for advanced network management features such as remote booting, network security configurations, and quality of service (QoS) settings, thereby enhancing overall network reliability, security, and performance.
