Overview

The IBM Emulex 2-Port PCI-E 2.0 10GB Virtual Fabric Adapter (part number 00Y3290) delivers high-performance, low-latency connectivity for modern data centre and enterprise server environments. Designed to support multiple virtual fabrics over a single physical adapter, this card enables flexible network segmentation without additional hardware, helping you optimise bandwidth utilisation while maintaining strict isolation between workloads.

Key Features

  • Dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports on a PCI-E 2.0 x8 interface for maximum throughput
  • Virtual Fabric technology allows up to eight independent virtual fabrics per adapter
  • Hardware offload for TCP/IP, iSCSI and RDMA to reduce CPU load
  • Support for IEEE 802.3ae standard ensures compatibility with a wide range of switches and routers
  • Hot-plug capability enables installation or removal without system downtime
  • Advanced error detection and correction mechanisms improve reliability in mission critical deployments

Technical Specifications

  • Form factor: PCI-E 2.0 x8, low profile bracket included
  • Port type: RJ45 (10GBASE-T) with auto-negotiate for 1Gbps and 10Gbps speeds
  • Maximum bandwidth: 20 Gbps aggregate per adapter
  • Latency: sub-microsecond processing latency for RDMA workloads
  • Supported operating systems: IBM AIX, Linux distributions, Microsoft Windows Server (various editions)
  • Power consumption: typical 12 watts under full load
  • Firmware: upgradable via IBM Emulex management utilities

Typical Applications

  • Virtualised server farms that require separate network fabrics for different tenants or services
  • High-performance computing clusters where low latency and high bandwidth are critical
  • Storage area networks using iSCSI or FCoE to connect servers to enterprise storage arrays
  • Financial trading platforms that demand ultra-fast data transfer and deterministic performance
  • Cloud infrastructure providers looking to maximise density while preserving network isolation

This adapter combines robust hardware acceleration with flexible virtualisation features, making it an ideal choice for organisations seeking to scale their networks without sacrificing performance or manageability.
