IBM 00E1599 server / storage / networking hardware Server Hardware / Parts

The IBM 00E1599 is a PCIe2 2-port 10GbE RoCE SR adapter, feature code EC30, providing two 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-range optical ports with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) support from a single PCIe2 slot. RoCE-capable adapters let applications move data between systems with lower CPU overhead and latency than standard TCP/IP networking, making this card a fit for clustered or high-throughput Power Systems workloads such as database or virtualisation traffic. Genuine replacements are a routine requirement when expanding 10GbE/RoCE capacity or replacing a faulted adapter, particularly in clustered environments where every node in the fabric needs a matching adapter generation. Specifiers should confirm host chassis compatibility and driver support before ordering.
