The NetApp X91143A (111-02397) is a 4-port Converged Network Adapter (CNA) I/O module designed to add both 10GbE connectivity and 16Gb Fibre Channel capability to compatible NetApp storage platforms. It is well-suited for data center environments where you need flexible host connectivity, consolidated cabling, and predictable performance for SAN and Ethernet-based workloads.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics and deployment benefits for this NetApp I/O module include:

• 4-port CNA I/O module design to provide converged connectivity in a single adapter footprint.
• 10GbE network interfaces to support high-throughput Ethernet connectivity for IP-based storage and data traffic.
• 16Gb Fibre Channel capability to enable fast, low-latency SAN connectivity for FC-attached storage environments.
• Compatibility with NetApp platforms that support the X91143A I/O module form factor, for example select FAS and AFF system families (model support depends on chassis/slot type).
• Converged networking approach (Ethernet + FC) to simplify host connectivity planning and reduce adapter sprawl in dense environments.
• Designed for enterprise integration to support common data center operational requirements such as controlled change management and standardised sparing.
• Suitable for redundant fabric designs to help build resilient paths for both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity.
• Enterprise-grade hardware built for continuous operation to support 24/7 storage and application availability requirements.
