Overview
The Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP is a reliable, high-performance
serial I/O storage interface for servers. The serial nature of Fibre
Channel brings the flexibility and ease of Local Area Network
(LAN) connectivity to storage attachment, introducing the idea of
Storage Area Networks (SAN). Fibre Channel simplifies the physical
configuration issues related to the I/O channel. Peripherals may be
positioned at considerable distances from the server (depending on
cabling media) for convenience or for data security. More reliable in
data transfer than conventional LAN, Fibre Channel offers 2 gigabit
performance and greater device connectivity than parallel SCSI. The
Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP provides the I/O channel scalability
required for continuous growth in storage capacity and availability
needs.
