Brand: Marvell QLogic · SKU: QLE2672 · MPN: QLE2672 · Category: Components
The Marvell QLogic QLE2670 and QLE2672 are 16Gb Fibre Channel (16GFC) Adapters from the QLogic 2600 Series, which is the sixth generation of Fibre Channel Adapters. They boast industry-leading native FC performance, achieving dual-port, line-rate 1,600MBps FC throughput at extremely low CPU utilization due to full hardware offloads. This performance eliminates I/O bottlenecks in modern multiprocessor, multicore servers and makes the adapter ideal for virtualized environments needing excellent I/O performance for growing numbers of Virtual Machines (VMs). The adapters leverage Marvell QLogic VMflex technology, supporting standards-based virtualization features like N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and Virtual Fabric technology. The architecture provides complete port-level isolation with independent CPU, buffers, and firmware for each port, ensuring high availability. They are backward compatible with 4GFC and 8GFC infrastructure and can be managed with QConvergeConsole (QCC) or third-pa
