IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The network architecture on the IBM Flex System platform has been specifically designed to address
network challenges, giving you a scalable way to integrate, optimize, and automate your data center. The
IBM Flex System™ FC3052 2-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapter enables high-speed access for IBM Flex
System compute nodes to an external storage area network (SAN). This adapter is based on the proven
Emulex Fibre Channel stack, and works with any of the 8 Gb or 16 Gb IBM Flex System Fibre Channel
switch and pass-thru modules.
Figure 1 shows the IBM Flex System FC3052 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 localize 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.
