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 uses 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.
