Marvell QLogic 2800 Series Fibre Channel Controllers

64GFC (Fibre Channel) controllers with PCIe 4.0 providing concurrent FCP and FC-NVMe

2800 FC Controllers

The Marvell® QLogic® 2800 series controllers are deliver 64GFC Fibre Channel connectivity with dual-port and quad-port versions on a backward compatible PCIe 4.0 bus. Used for 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 51,200 MBPs of bidirectional throughput, the QLogic 2800 Series is the ideal choice for the most demanding of flash-based storage solutions.

The 2800 Series provides the industry's top Fibre Channel performance with support for over 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. 

Key Features

  • Greater than 4 million IOPS fuel high performance in all flash arrays (AFAs) and mission critical storage appliances
  • Up to four 64G Fibre Channel ports delivering a total of up to 51,200 MBps bidirectional throughput
  • 64GFC solution with comprehensive investment protection for legacy 32/16 Gbps Fibre Channel Infrastructures (dependent on FC optics)
  • Complete per-port traffic isolation for greater reliability and security
