Did You Know?
The performance bottleneck with Fiber Channel storage typically exists in the switching. By moving to 8GB adapters and switches, you can localize the bottleneck to the storage controller, where it can be managed by expanding the disks attached to storage. When compared to the previous generation 4GB adapters, the new generation 8GB adapters double the throughput speeds for Fiber Channel traffic. As a result, you can manage increased amounts of data and possibly benefit from a reduced hardware expense.
The adapter connects to the midplane directly, without having to use cables or small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules. By eliminating these components for up to 14 servers, the resulting savings alone can cover the investment in the chassis.
