Dual Port SBus-to-Fibre Channel host bus adapter JNI FibreStar

64-bit Dual Port SBus-to-Fibre Channel HBA

The JNI FibreStar FCE2-1063 Dual Port SBus-to-Fibre Channel host bus adapter maximizes Fibre Channel connectivity and throughput options in servers with limited server slot availability. The dual port design enables high-speed data transfers between multiple Fibre Channel links and a single SBus-based server. Beyond speed, the FCE2-1063 adapter incorporates the same level of stability, reliability and overall robustness that continue to make the JNI FibreStar adapters the HBA of choice for Solaris environments, especially in high-end mission critical SAN applications.

The key feature separating the dual port from the traditional single port cards is the complete separation of channels on one HBA. Because each port on the HBA has its own logic and dedicated Fibre Channel ASIC chipset, each port operates independent from the other. Adapter performance is never compromised, and each port is separately configured. For example, one port of the HBA can run in a loop environment, while the other port operates in a switched fabric, or point-to-point configuration.

The dual port HBA also comes bundled with EZ Fibre, JNI’s proprietary software for configuring and managing a Fibre Channel installation. EZ Fibre makes installing JNI HBAs as easy as point-and-click.

JNI’s dual port advantage, combined with a continued commitment to high quality and service, provide peace of mind when choosing the FCE2-1063 for a SAN or other storage network application.
