IBM 4657-ADBC – 25GbE (iWARP) Adapter Cards (Pair)

Detailed Description:

The IBM 4657-ADBC 25GbE (iWARP) Adapter Cards deliver high-speed data transfer and low-latency networking capabilities, with a focus on Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol (iWARP). These adapter cards are specifically designed for environments requiring robust and efficient data communication channels, such as virtualized data centers, cloud environments, and high-performance computing applications. By leveraging the iWARP protocol, these cards eliminate the need for dedicated RDMA fabrics, enabling RDMA over Ethernet networks. This approach not only reduces complexity but also cost, by allowing the use of standard TCP/IP network infrastructures. The 25 gigabit Ethernet speed facilitates rapid data transfer rates, enhancing the efficiency of applications that rely on fast and reliable data exchange. Deploying the IBM 4657-ADBC adapter cards in pairs ensures high availability and load balancing for critical network functions, thereby improving the resilience and performance of your IT infrastructure.
