QLogic Fibre Channel controller
application-specific integrated
circuits (ASICs)
application-specific integrated
circuits (ASICs)
Allows customers to use existing QLogic HBA software and drivers for storage
Unified I/O
● Supports three simultaneous protocols: TCP/IP networking, FCoE, and Small Computer System Interface
over IP (iSCSI)
● Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because
LAN and SAN traffic run over the same mezzanine card and fabric
Network architecture
Provides redundant path to fabric interconnect using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to the fabric carrying both
Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic
Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic
Unified management
Through Cisco UCS Manager, supports automatic updates of Qlogic firmware and drivers.
Support for lossless Ethernet
● Uses Priority Flow Control (PFC) and IEEE 802.3x pause to enable FCoE as part of the Cisco unified
fabric
● Increases storage networking performance by eliminating retry and resend operations in congested
fabrics
