What is a Server Adapter?

A server adapter is a hardware component that facilitates communication between a server and other network devices. It enables the server to connect to a network, allowing it to exchange data with other servers, computers, or networked devices. Server adapters are crucial for ensuring efficient data transfer, network performance, and connectivity in various server environments, including data centers and enterprise networks.

Types of Server Adapters Available in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, several types of server adapters are available to cater to different networking needs:

1. Network Interface Cards (NICs): These are the most common type of server adapters, used for connecting servers to local area networks (LAN). They come in various speeds, such as 1Gbps, 10Gbps, and even 100Gbps.
2. Fibre Channel Adapters: These are used in storage area networks (SANs) to provide high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices.
3. InfiniBand Adapters: Known for their low latency and high throughput, these adapters are ideal for high-performance computing environments.
4. iSCSI Adapters: These adapters enable servers to connect to storage devices using the iSCSI protocol, which encapsulates SCSI commands into IP packets.
5. Converged Network Adapters (CNAs): These adapters combine the functionality of a NIC and a fiber Channel adapter, providing both network and storage connectivity.
