Marvell QLogic 2700 Series Fibre Channel Controllers

Enhanced 32GFC and 32GFC (Fibre Channel) controllers providing industry leading native FC performance with low CPU usage and full hardware offloads

The Marvell® QLogic® 2700 series controllers are both the Enhanced 32GFC and 32GFC Fibre Channel controllers with dual-port and quad-port versions. Used for initiator- or target-mode implementations, this controller delivers the ultimate in Fibre Channel and NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe) performance, power efficiency, reliability, and investment protection. With up to 25,600 MBPs of bidirectional throughput, the QLogic 2700 Series is the ideal choice for the most demanding of flash-based storage solutions. The 2700 Series provides the industry's top Fibre Channel performance with support for up to 1 million I/O operations per second (IOPS) per port optimizing storage access for hyper-scale virtualization, solid-state storage technologies, and new data center architecture. QLogic's port-isolation design provides independent data paths for each port to deliver consistent and predictable performance across each port. The 2700 series controllers provide unmatched operational efficiency and leverage Marvell QLogic technology with dynamic and adaptive power management features to optimize power and thermal footprints in the data center.
