Marvell QLogic 2740 and 2760 Series Fibre Channel Adapters

32GFC fibre channel adapters in single, dual and quad ports providing industry leading native FC performance with low CPU usage

The Marvell® QLogic® 2740 and 2760 Series of 32G Fibre Channel adapters comprise a complete portfolio of single, dual, and quad-port adapters, designed to accelerate mission-critical enterprise applications, build a highly resilient infrastructure and improve operational efficiency. QLogic 32GFC technology provides the industry’s first 32GFC adapter, delivering enhanced performance with up to 2.6 million IOPS (650K per port) and up to 25,600MBps of aggregate throughput, and providing unsurpassed reliability and resiliency. The 2740 and 2760 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 32GFC, all-flash arrays (AFAs), and demanding enterprise applications. The adapters support QLogic StorFusion™ technology, offering streamlined provisioning, in-depth diagnostics, guaranteed quality of service (QoS), SAN congestion mitigation with FPINs, and improved resiliency with in-built forward error correction (FEC). This series provides complete port-level isolation with lower power and fewer CPU cycles while maintaining predictable and scalable performance across all ports.

Key Features

  • Unmatched 32GFC line rate performance to eliminate potential I/O bottlenecks in today's multiprocessor and multicore servers
  • Up to four ports of 32GFC delivers 24,000MBps aggregate throughput
  • Up to 2.6 million IOPS fuel high performance in AFAs and high-density virtualized environments
  • Improvements in total cost of ownership (TCO) with QLogic StorFusion™ technology, offering streamlined deployment, end-to-end diagnostics, QoS optimization
  • Universal SAN Congestion Mitigation (USCM) to help pinpoint and prevent SAN Congestion utilizing Fabric Performance Impact Notification (FPIN) technology
  • Improved resiliency with automatic FEC addresses the needs of IT organizations that require reliability and resiliency
  • Port isolation design offers deterministic and scalable performance on each port
  • Support for N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV) enables a single FC adapter port to provide multiple virtual ports for increased network scalability
  • Full hardware offloads deliver industry-leading native FC performance with extremely low CPU usage
  • FC-NVMe capability for simultaneous access to NVMe™ and FCP Storage on the same port
