IBM 5782 – PCI-X EXP24 CTL-1.5GB NO IOP

Detailed Description:

The IBM 5782 is a high-performance PCI-X Expansion 24 (EXP24) Controller designed to facilitate the connection and management of external storage arrays. This controller enables the extension of a server’s storage capacity by connecting it to up to 24 external disk drives without requiring an Integrated Operating Processor (IOP). It utilizes the PCI-X interface, known for its high data transfer rates, making it suitable for data-intensive applications. The controller is equipped with 1.5GB of onboard cache, enhancing data retrieval speeds and overall system performance. The absence of an IOP simplifies the system architecture and reduces potential bottlenecks, allowing for smoother and more efficient data processing. Ideal for environments requiring high levels of data availability and performance, the IBM 5782 is an excellent solution for expanding storage capabilities in data centers, enterprise servers, and high-performance computing systems, ensuring fast, reliable access to large volumes of data.
