QLogic QLE2690-DEL Dual Port 16Gb Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Product Introduction
product overview
QLogic QLE2690-DEL is a high-performance dual port 16Gb Fiber Channel (16GFC) host bus adapter designed specifically for enterprise storage area networks (SANs). This HBA adopts PCIe 3.0 interface, providing ultra-low latency and high throughput, suitable for critical business environments such as virtualization, databases, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC).
Key Features
High performance 16GFC connection
Supports dual port 16Gb/s fiber channel, with each port providing 1600MB/s full duplex bandwidth
Backward compatibility with 8Gb/s and 4Gb/s, ensuring compatibility with existing SAN infrastructure
Ultra low latency, optimized for financial transactions, real-time data analysis and other applications
Enterprise level reliability and redundancy
Supports multi-path I/O (MPIO), providing fault switching and load balancing
End to end data integrity protection (CRC check) to prevent data corruption
Compliant with FC-PI-6 standard and compatible with mainstream storage systems (EMC, NetApp, HPE, Dell, etc.)
Advanced storage function
Support NVMe over Fiber Channel (NVMe/FC) to enhance SSD storage performance
Hardware accelerated SCSI and NVMe protocol offloading to reduce CPU overhead
Support Target Mode, which can be used for storage virtualization and SAN Boot
Optimized Energy Efficiency Design
Adopting low-power ASIC technology, the full load power consumption is only 10W
Support dynamic power management, automatically reduce frequency and save energy when idle
Flexible deployment options
PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots
SFP+optical module interface, supporting short wave (SWL) and long wave (LWL) modules
