Powerful management tools automate and simplify SAN provisioning to help reduce cost and complexity, while the unmatched 32 Gbps performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today’s powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers.
- Maximum performance with up to 650K input/output operations per second (IOPS) per port (1.3 million IOPS in a dual-port adapter) to support larger server virtualization deployments and scalable cloud initiatives, and performance to match new multicore processors, SSDs/flash storage, and faster server host bus architectures
- Independent function, transmit and receive buffers, an on-chip CPU, DMA channels, and a firmware image for each port enable complete port-level isolation, prevent errors and firmware crashes from propagating across all ports, and provide predictable and scalable performance across all ports
- Support forward error correction (FEC) to enhance reliability of transmission and thereby performance
- Industry-standard class-specific control (CS_CTL)-based frame prioritization Quality of Service (QoS) helps alleviate network congestion by prioritizing traffic for time-sensitive mission critical workloads for optimized performance
- T10-PI data integrity with high performance offload provides end-to-end data corruption protection
- Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances application performance
- Fabric-assigned port worldwide name (FA-WWN) and fabric-based boot LUN discovery (F-BLD) pre-provisioning services allow servers to be quickly deployed, replaced, and moved across the SAN; the creation of zones, LUNs, and other services can be completed before the servers arrive on site
- Using the Brocade ClearLink diagnostic port (D_Port) available on the Brocade Gen 5 switches, administrators can quickly run automated diagnostic tests to assess the health of links and fabric components
- Read diagnostic parameters (RDP) feature provides detailed port, media, and optics diagnostics to easily discover and diagnose link-related errors and degrading conditions on any N_Port-to-F_Port link
- Link cable beacon (LCB) enables administrators to visually identify both ends of a physical link by flashing HBA's LEDs, simplifying identification of the connection peers within server racks without tracing the cable
- Single-pane-of-glass management across generations of QLogic FC adapters with QLogic QConvergeConsole (QCC)
- Deployment flexibility and integration with third-party management tools, including the VMware vCenter and Brocade Network Advisor
- Support for 32 Gb, 16 Gb and 8 Gb FC devices
- Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
- A common driver model allows a single driver to support all QLogic HBAs on a given OS
- Reduce the number of cards, cables, and PCIe slots required
- Exceptional performance per watt and price/performance ratios
- Backward compatibility with existing 8Gb FC and 16Gb FC infrastructure, leveraging existing SAN investments
- Allow application of SAN best practices, tools, and processes with virtual server deployments
- Ensure data availability and data integrity
- Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime
