The module provides 20 native 8Gb Fibre Channel ports, enabling direct SAN connectivity without protocol translation or latency-inducing switching. This device integrates into Flex System compute node infrastructure and supports concurrent multi-node SAN access patterns typical of virtualized and high-availability storage deployments. Compatible with IBM Flex System x240 and x440 compute nodes when installed in supported chassis configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pass-through architecture allows fabric-attached nodes to present native Fibre Channel initiators to existing SAN infrastructure with minimal performance overhead. Typical deployments include shared storage environments, VMware vSphere clusters, and mission-critical database platforms requiring deterministic SAN latency. Port density supports medium- to large-scale multi-node fabrics within a single chassis footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTested and guaranteed.
