Celerity FC-42ES Adapter
The Celerity FC-42ES is a dual-channel host adapter
providing port density for Enterprise server and
workstation applications. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up
to 800 MB/sec. per channel, the FC-42ES supports the
most demanding application requirements.
Additionally the FC-42ES takes advantage of the latest
in host interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial,
high-speed connection that supports aggregate
throughput up to 4 GB/sec. (x8 PCIe) full-duplex. The
FC-42ES is software compatible with existing PCI and
PCI-X products using the same device drivers as other
Celerity FC family products, simplifying user
installation and support. It is backward compatible
with existing 2-Gb and 1-Gb Fibre Channel
infrastructure, protecting existing technology.
