iSR6140
Universal SAN Connectivity
Features
All Fibre Channel SAN devices can be multi-protocol 
 
devices and shared across the enterprise to 
improve ROI and reduce connection costs without 
impacting existing SAN architectures.
The iSR6140 supports Cluster File Systems to 
 
improve the performance, cost, and scalability of 
HPC storage connectivity.  Since the iSR6140 can 
provide direct block access to SANs, via iSCSI to 
Fibre Channel (FC) routing, it leverages the cost 
benefits of Ethernet and provides direct access to 
SAN data.
The iSR6140 reduces the cost of SAN connectivity 
 
to under $100 per server.  The iSR6140 supports 
up to 512 server connections and leverages native 
iSCSI drivers provided by all leading Operating 
System (OS) vendors to provide high performance, 
low-cost SAN connectivity to improve application 
availability, data protection, and migrate stand-
alone DAS storage to centralized SAN storage.
The iSR6140 can extend SAN benefits across 
 
the enterprise at a very low-cost and minimal 
management overhead.
QLogic’s advanced install and configuration wizards 
 
enable set up in less than 15 minutes and make it 
simple to manage.
The iSR6140 is based on the same proven FC and 
 
iSCSI ASIC technology the have powered over 50 
million storage products sold by leading storage 
vendors.
Universal SAN Connectivity for Storage and Servers.
 
The QLogic iSR6140 
is designed for Universal SAN connectivity between storage and servers via 
iSCSI to Fibre Channel routing.  It sets a new standard for ease-of-use and 
price/performance value. The iSR6140 offers unparalleled ease of integration, 
based  on  the  same  proven  QLogic ASIC  technology  that  powers  over  50 
million  storage  products  sold  by  leading  storage  vendors.     The  iSR6140 
product provides dual 1GB iSCSI ports for connection to the WAN/LAN and 
dual 2Gb FC ports for connection to the FC SAN.  Leading applications for 
the iSR6140 include:
Adding multi-protocol support to FC SAN devices 
 
Scaling VMware to SAN connectivity
 
Adding FC SAN access to all servers
 
Optimizing storage for HCP clusters
 
Providing Wide Area Files Services (WAFS) for remote sites
 
Connecting stranded servers to the SAN
 
Connecting remote sites to the SAN
 
Lowering  the  Cost  of  SAN  Connectivity.
 The  iSR6140  is  the  ideal  tool  to 
expand the reach and benefits of your SAN investment across the enterprise.  
It  leverages  the  low-cost  and  pervasive  infrastructure  of  Ethernet  and 
supports  up  to  512  server  connections.    The  iSR6140  leverages  native 
iSCSI drivers provided by all leading OS vendors (Microsoft, Red Hat & SUSE 
Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX) to bring the benefits of SAN to all servers in the 
enterprise.  The combination of low-cost Ethernet and native iSCSI drivers 
help drive the cost per server to under $100 per connection.
Virtual Storage Connections for Virtual Servers.
 Leading server virtualization 
products,  such  as  VMware  and  Xen,  need  flexible  and  dynamic  storage 
solutions.    QLogic  router  technology  provides  virtual  iSCSI  connections 
between  each  server  and  Fibre  Channel  storage.    As  the  virtual  server 
environment changes, the iSR6140 provides the ability to dynamically re-
allocate and migrate (VMotion) storage resources between virtual servers.
Improving Storage Management, Utilization, and Scalability.
 
The iSR6140 
consolidates  data  storage  onto  the  SAN,  improving  storage  management 
utilization and scalability. It is an ideal tool to migrate stand-alone storage to 
centralized SAN storage, improving utilization.
