The IBM 42R5841 is a high-performance GX Dual-Port 4X InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter (HCA) designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency networking for servers and storage systems. The adapter utilizes the InfiniBand 4X interface, capable of providing data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps per port, making it an ideal solution for high-performance computing (HPC) environments, data centers, and applications that require fast data transfer rates and minimal data transfer delays. The dual-port configuration allows for redundancy and increased bandwidth, enhancing the overall system reliability and performance. This HCA is suitable for applications requiring high data throughput and low-latency communication, such as cluster computing, parallel processing, and large-scale database access. It supports RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which enables direct memory access from the memory of one computer into that of another without involving either one's operating system. This feature significantly reduces latency and CPU load, providing improved system efficiency. The IBM 42R5841 is built to integrate seamlessly with IBM servers and InfiniBand switch systems, ensuring easy installation and operational compatibility. It is a critical component for building next-generation computing environments that demand the highest levels of efficiency, scalability, and performance.
