The QLogic® 2700 Series Adapters are the industry's first Gen 6 (32Gb) Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) available in single, dual, and quad-ports. Architected with full hardware offloads, the 2700 Series Adapters boast industry-leading native FC performance with extremely low CPU usage.

GEN 6 FIBRE CHANNEL TECHNOLOGY
QLogic Gen 6 FC technology provides the industry's first 32Gbps adapter. QLogic's Gen 6 FC solution offers higher per-port performance (up to 650K IOPS) with lower power consumption. In addition, QLogic StorFusion technology delivers streamlined provisioning, guaranteed quality of service (QoS), and improved resiliency with in-built forward error correction (FEC) while addressing the needs of IT organizations that require reliability, integrated management and guaranteed network performance.

Gen 6 FC technology resolves data center complexities by enabling a storage network infrastructure that supports powerful virtualization features, application-aware services, and simplified management. The 2700 Series Adapters provide advanced storage networking features capable of supporting the most demanding virtualized and private cloud environments, while fully leveraging the capabilities of high-performance Gen 6 FC, 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 32Gbps line rate performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today's powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers.

ACCELERATE MISSION CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
The 2700 Series Adapters provide industry-leading application performance by delivering up to 2.6 million IOPS for physical, virtual, and private cloud environments. QLogic adapters deliver application performance in virtualized and non-virtualized environments with up to 24,000MBps of aggregate throughput.

VIRTUALIZATION OPTIMIZED
The QLogic 2700 Series Adapters support 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-based QoS technology per NPIV port allows bandwidth controls and guarantee per virtual machine (VM). In addition, the 32Gbps line rate per physical port delivers unmatched storage performance to maximize the number of VMs per physical server.
