The Cisco Host Channel Adapter (HCA), part number SFS-HCA-X2T7R-A1=, is a dual-port network adapter designed to offer high-performance connectivity and scalability for enterprise-grade environments. Each port supports two high-speed connections that allow for efficient data transmission, essential for demanding networking applications.
It features advanced InfiniBand support, which enables faster data throughput and greater scalability compared to traditional networking methods. InfiniBand is particularly useful for server-to-server communications in large-scale data centres, providing low-latency network performance and enhanced reliability.
The adapter is compatible with PCIe interfaces, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of servers and data centre architectures. This facilitates seamless integration into your existing infrastructure. With its dual-port design, it offers enhanced redundancy and improved bandwidth aggregation, making it an ideal solution for high-availability environments where uninterrupted connectivity is critical.
Additional benefits include offload features that help relieve CPU workloads, optimising overall system performance. This is particularly effective in high-demand applications like virtualised environments or large-scale data processing. The compact design allows it to be deployed in both rack-mount and tower servers, maintaining flexibility for IT administrators during system installations.
