The QLogic 2600 Series Adapters have the unique capability of
transforming from a 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter to a 10GbE
Converged Network Adapter that supports NIC, FCoE, and iSCSI
traffic. Based on QLogic’s I/OFlex technology, the adapter’s
flexibility simplifies and reduces cost for customers who want to
deploy a Fibre Channel SAN today and migrate to an Ethernet SAN in
the future. •16Gbps fibre channel per port maximum throughput for
high bandwidth storage area network (SAN) traffic
•Over 1.2 million IOPS reduce latency in high transaction intensive
applications and virtualized environments
•Reduced hardware, cabling, and management costs by enabling more
applications (virtual machines) to run on a single server and Fibre
Channel port
•Decreased power and cooling costs by using the fewest PCI Express
lanes in PCIe Gen3 environments
•Overlapping protection domains (OPD) to ensure a high level of
reliability as data moves to and from the PCI bus and Fibre Channel
network
•Complete investment protection for legacy 8Gb and 4Gb Fibre
Channel infrastructure
•Future-proof design enables conversion to a 10GbE Converged
Network Adapter
