Product Description
The QLogic QLE2742-SR SANblade is a cutting-edge Host Bus Adapter engineered to meet the stringent demands of modern data centers. With its dual 32Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, it provides robust and high-speed connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs), ensuring efficient data flow for critical applications and virtualized environments. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface ensures ample bandwidth to support the full capabilities of the FC ports. This HBA is built with enterprise-grade features, including support for FC-NVMe (Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express), which allows for lower latency and higher throughput by enabling NVMe commands to be transmitted directly over Fibre Channel. This is crucial for flash-based storage arrays and high-performance computing workloads. The QLE2742-SR also supports traditional FCP (Fibre Channel Protocol) for backward compatibility. Designed for reliability and scalability, the QLE2742-SR offers advanced features such as NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) and NPV (N_Port Virtualization) for enhanced SAN management and consolidation. Its low-profile form factor allows for installation in a wide range of servers, including dense blade systems. This adapter is an ideal choice for organizations seeking to maximize their SAN performance and ensure high availability for their storage infrastructure.
