The IBM 24P0962 PCI-X/133MHz, 2GBps Fiber Channel host bus adapter (QLOGIC QLA2340) is being introduced for attaching FAStT storage servers to IBM eServer xSeries and other Intel-based servers. The IBM TotalStorage FAStT FC2-133 host bus adapter is a 64-bit, low-profile adapter that supports auto-sensing for 1GBps or 2GBps operations on point-to-point Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop (AL)-2 and switched fabric topologies with Fiber Channel SCSI and IP protocols.

The IBM ServeRAID-8I SAS Controller performs with new Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Raid technology. The ServeRAID 8i is a Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) controller that manages your internal data storage in selected xSeries servers. The ServeRAID 8i controller achieves higher performance and up 6 to 10 times higher transfer rates at 3 GB/second than its Ultra-320 SCSI predecessors for a nominal increase in price. The half-length adapter runs on a dedicated system's PCI-X 64-bit ZCR slot at speeds up to 133 MHz. With the onboard 256 MB memory and 600 MHz Intel processor, the ServeRAID 8i takes RAID processing workload and offloads it directly to the controller. This allows your CPU ample bandwidth to perform the application processing required. The ServeRAID 8i SAS Controller offers:

• RAID levels include 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 60, and IBM exclusive 1E, and 5EE
• Performance up to 3 GB/second of throughput
• ServeRAID 8i supports independent and adjustable stripe sizes of 256 k and 512 k
• Additional ServeRAID features such as Logical Drive Migration, Global Hot Spare, Copyback, and Flashcopy are available to manage your storage drives
• Battery backed memory provides added protection for your valuable data
• Rebuild and rapid restore features to preserve RAID configurations
• ServeRAID Manager software application is available for managing the SAS RAID array configurations
