QLogic QLE2742-CSC Dual-port Gen 6 Fibre Channel Adapter

The QLogic QLE2742-CSC dual-port Gen 6 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter boasts industry leading native FC performance with extremely low CPU usage with full hardware offloads.
32GFC TECHNOLOGY
The FC solution from QLogic provides the industry's leading Gen 6 adapter. The QLogic FC solution offers higher per-port performance (up to 650K IOPS) with low power consumption. In addition, QLogic StorFusion technology delivers streamlined provisioning, guaranteed quality of service (QoS), and improved resiliency with built-in forward error correction (FEC). StorFusion addresses the needs of IT organizations that require reliability, integrated management, and guaranteed network performance.
The 32GFC technology resolves data center complexities by enabling a storage network infrastructure that supports powerful virtualization features, application-aware services, and simplified management. The QLE2742-CSC Adapter provides advanced storage networking features capable of supporting the most demanding virtualized and private cloud environments. This adapter fully leverages the capabilities of highperformance 32GFC, all-flash arrays (AFAs), and demanding enterprise applications. Powerful management tools automate and simplify SAN provisioning to help reduce cost and complexity, while the unmatched Gen 6 performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today's powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
The QLE2742-CSC Adapter can accelerate mission-critical enterprise applications by delivering up to 1.3 million IOPS for physical, virtual, and private cloud environments. QLogic adapters deliver the application performance in virtualized and non-virtualized environments with up to 650K I/O transactions per second, per port.
VIRTUALIZATION OPTIMIZED
The QLE2742-CSC Adapter supports standards-based virtualization features. Support for N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) enables a single FC adapter port to provide multiple virtual ports for increased network scalability. Standard class-specific control (CS_CTL)-based QoS technology per NPIV port allows bandwidth controls and guarantees per virtual machine (VM). In addition, the 32GFC line rate per physical port delivers unmatched storage performance to maximize the quantity of VMs per physical server.
