IBM Redbooks Product Guide

The IBM Flex System™ FC3172 2-port 8Gb FC Adapter enables high-speed access for IBM Flex System

compute nodes to connect to a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). This adapter is based on the

proven QLogic 2532 8Gb ASIC design and works with the 8 Gb and 16 Gb IBM Flex System Fibre

Channel switches and pass-thru modules.

Figure 1 shows the IBM Flex System FC3172 2-port 8Gb FC Adapter.

Did you know?

The performance bottleneck with Fibre Channel storage typically exists in the switching. By moving to 8

Gb adapters and switches, you can optimize the bottleneck to the storage controller, where it can be

managed by expanding the disks attached to storage. When compared to the previous-generation 4 Gb

adapters, the new-generation 8 Gb adapters double the throughput speeds for Fibre Channel traffic. As a

result, you can manage increased amounts of data and possibly benefit from a reduced hardware

expense.

The adapter connects to the midplane directly, without having to use cables or small form-factor

pluggable (SFP) modules. By eliminating these components for up to 14 servers, the resulting savings

alone can cover the investment in the chassis.
