Performance Specifications
The HBA is a high-performance I/O solution for applications such as
client/server configurations, database I/O environments, multimedia
applications, and imaging technologies. Each of these requires high-level
throughput with low-latency characteristics.
The HBA is both ANSI Fibre Channel and PCI Local Bus Compliant and
supports:
■
Full PCI bus speed data transfers of 133 MBytes/sec
■
Point-to-point arbitrated-loop, and switch fabric FC connections
■
Storage protocol
■
Fibre channel class 1, 2, 3
■
Direct interface to fibre optical cables through an embedded SC type
short-wave multi-mode connection
Collectively, these characteristics create a high-performance fibre channel
HBA.
