Marvell QLogic 2600 Series Fibre Channel Controllers

Enhanced Gen 5 FC (16GFC) fibre channel controllers providing industry leading native FC and FC-NVMe performance with low CPU usage and full hardware offloads

The Marvell® QLogic® 2600 series controllers are enhanced Gen 5 (16Gb) Fibre Channel controllers available in dual-port and quad-port. Used for initiator- or target-mode implementations, these controllers deliver the ultimate in Fibre Channel add NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe) performance, power utilization, reliability, and investment protection. The 2600 Series provides up to 2.6 million I/O operations per second (IOPS)—almost two times the IOPS of previous Gen 5 Fibre Channel controllers—and optimal load balancing and per port linear performance scalability. QLogic’s port-isolation design provides independent data paths for each port, running full line rate with up to 12,000 MB per second.

Key Features

  • Up to 2.6 million IOPS fuel high performance in all flash arrays (AFA) and high density virtualized environments
  • Up to 16GFC throughput for high-bandwidth storage (SAN) traffic; a total of up to 128Gbps bidirectional throughput for four ports
  • 1.5 times performance per watt improvement over previous Gen 5 solutions for four ports
  • Complete investment protection for legacy 8GFC and 4GFC infrastructures
  • Complete per-port traffic isolation for greater reliability and security
