QLOGIC 16Gb Quad Port FC HBA, PCIe Gen3 x8, SR LC MM optic, lowprofile

The Marvell QLogic QLE2694/2694L quad-port adapters are the industry’s first Enhanced 16GFC (16GFC) adapters, boasting industry-leading native FC performance with low CPU usage and full hardware offloads. Enhanced 16GFC Marvell’s unique Enhanced 16GFC technology provides the industry’s first native quad-port 16GFC adapter in both low-profile (QLE2694L) and standard height (QLE2694) form factors. Marvell’s Enhanced 16GFC solution offers higher per-port performance (up to 650K IOPS) with lower power consumption (3W per port). In addition, Marvell StorFusion technology delivers streamline provisioning, guaranteed QoS, and improved resiliency while addressing the needs of IT organizations that require reliability, integrated management, and guaranteed network performance. Enhanced 16GFC technology resolves data center complexities by enabling a storage network infrastructure that supports powerful virtualization features, applica?tion-aware services, and simplified management. The QLE2694/2694L Adapters provide advanced storage networking features capable of supporting the most demanding virtualized and private cloud environments while fully leveraging the capabilities of high-performance 16GFC and All-Flash Arrays (AFAs). Powerful management tools automate and simplify SAN provisioning to help reduce cost and complexity, while the unmatched 16GFC performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today’s powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers. Superior Performance The QLE2694/2694L Adapters provide industry-leading application performance by up to 2.6 million IOPS for physical, virtual, and private cloud environments. Marvell QLogic adapters deliver the best throughput performance in virtualized and non-virtualized environments with 12,800MBps of aggregate throughput per-second. Integrated Marvell StarPower™ technology delivers dynamic power management, which ensures that the PCIe® host bus link uses the minimum number of PCIe lanes to meet the required bandwidth.
