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.

The Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects are a core part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, providing both network connectivity and management capabilities for the system (Figure 2). The Cisco UCS 6400 Series offer line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel functions.

The Cisco UCS 6400 Series provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers, UCS 5108 B-Series Server Chassis, UCS Managed C-Series Rack Servers, and UCS S-Series Storage Servers. All servers attached to a Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnect become part of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting a unified fabric, Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnect provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all servers within its domain.

From a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6400 Series use a cut-through architecture, supporting deterministic, low-latency, line-rate 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, switching capacity of 3.82 Tbps for the 6454, 7.42 Tbps for the 64108, and 200 Gbps bandwidth between the Fabric Interconnect 6400 series and the IOM 2408 per 5108 blade chassis, independent of packet size and enabled services. The product family supports Cisco low-latency, lossless 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. The fabric interconnect supports multiple traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet fabric from the server through the fabric interconnect. Significant TCO savings come from an FCoE-optimized server design in which Network Interface Cards (NICs), Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), cables, and switches can be consolidated.
