IBM 70XX-1809 – GX DUAL-PORT 4X IB HCA

Detailed Description:

The IBM 70XX-1809 is a GX Dual-Port 4x IB Host Channel Adapter (HCA) designed to provide high-speed connectivity and data transfers between IBM servers and InfiniBand (IB) networks. This adapter utilizes the GX interface, IBM’s proprietary bus technology, and supports the InfiniBand 4x connection, offering up to 10 Gbps data transfer rates per port. The dual-port configuration ensures redundancy and high availability, making it an ideal solution for critical applications that require reliable, high-speed interconnects, such as high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, database clusters, and storage area networks (SANs). The adapter’s support for InfiniBand technology not only enables high bandwidth and low latency connections but also facilitates advanced features such as remote direct memory access (RDMA), which further enhances the efficiency of data transfers between servers. The IBM 70XX-1809 HCA is suited for organizations looking to build or upgrade their HPC environments, offering a scalable and flexible solution for high-speed networking requirements.
