IBM Flex System FC5022 2-port 16Gb FC Adapter
The FC5022 adapter is designed to work best with the IBM Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN Scalable Switch and together, these deliver considerable value by simplifying the deployment of server and SAN resources, reducing infrastructure and operational costs, and maximizing server and SAN reliability, availability, and resiliency.
Even with an 8 Gb Fibre Channel SAN fabric, having 16 Gb adapters and switches in the IBM Flex System means that you can eliminate any oversubscription from the SAN fabric to maximize application throughput. Having 16 Gb adapters and switches also offers future investment protection by enabling the density of virtual machines (VMs) to be increased on a compute node and by providing performance head room to support demanding solid-state drive storage technologies.
The feature code listed is for configurations available through the System x sales channel. This adapter is not available through the Power Systems sales channel.
The part number includes the following items:
One IBM Flex System FC5022 2-port 16Gb FC Adapter
A documentation CD containing the adapter user’s guide
The IBM Important Notices document
Features:
The IBM Flex System FC5022 2-port 16Gb FC Adapter has the following features:
16 Gbps Fibre Channel
Utilize 16 Gbps bandwidth to eliminate internal oversubscription
Investment protection with the latest Fibre Channel technologies
Reduce the number of ISL external switch ports, optics, cables and power
Over 500,000 IOPS per port -- maximizes transaction performance and density of VMs per compute node
Achieves performance of 330,000 IOPS for email exchange and 205,000 IOPS for SQL Database
Boot from SAN allows the automation SAN Boot LUN discovery to simplify boot from SAN and reduce image management complexity
Brocade Server Application Optimization (SAO) provides Quality of Service (QoS) levels assignable to VM applications
Direct I/O enables native (direct) I/O performance by allowing VMs to bypass the hypervisor and communicate directly with the adapter
Brocade Network Advisor simplifies and unifies the management of Brocade adapter, SAN, and LAN resources through a single pane-of-glass
LUN Masking, an Initiator-based LUN masking for storage traffic isolation
N_Port Id Virtualization (NPIV) allows multiple host initiator N_Ports to share a single physical N_Port, dramatically reducing SAN hardware requirements
Target Rate Limiting (TRL) throttles data traffic when accessing slower speed storage targets to avoid back pressure problems
Unified driver across all Brocade-based IBM adapter products with automated version synchronization capability
Auto-negotiation, Quality of Service (QoS), Transparent (N_Port ID Virtualization - NPIV) mode support
