The network architecture on the Flex System™ platform is designed to address network challenges, giving you a scalable way to integrate, optimize, and automate your data center. The Flex System FC5024D 4-port 16Gb FC Adapter is a quad-port mid-mezzanine card for the Flex System x222 Compute Node. It enables high-speed access for servers to an external storage area network (SAN). This adapter is based on the Brocade architecture, and offers end-to-end 16 Gb connectivity to SAN. It has enhanced features, such as N_Port trunking and N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), and boot-from-the-SAN with automatic LUN discovery and end-to-end Server Application Optimization (SAO).
The FC5024D is designed to work best with the Flex System FC5022 16Gb SAN Scalable Switch, which 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.
The Flex System x222 Compute Node is a high-density dual-server offering that is designed for virtualization, dense cloud deployments, and hosted clients. The x222 has two independent servers in one mechanical package, which allows up to 28 servers to be housed in a single 10U Flex System Enterprise Chassis. The FC5024D provides Fibre Channel connectivity to both servers in the x222, with two ports that are routed to each server.
