QLOGIC QLE2672-CK

Ships in an individually-packed box with a standard-size bracket and a spare low-profile bracket.

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
