Virtual Optimized

  • Allows multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port.
  • Each logical connection has its own resources and the ability to be managed independently.
  • Supports 256 queue pairs
  • Supports PCI Requestor IDs (RIDs)
  • Supports Function Level Reset (FLR)
  • Supports Quality of Service (QoS)

Power Optimized

Takes advantage of the QLogic StarPower technology ensuring a power efficient HBA.  

  • QLogic’s StarPower technology offers features such as power and bandwidth optimized intelligent PCIe link training, low-power switching power supplies, and thermally efficient layout requiring lower airflows.

Security Optimized

Enable SAN-level authentication, fabric-level isolation, and end-to-end data integrity.
  • Features included: authentication through FC-SP, data integrity through T10 CRC and access control in virtualized environments.

RAS Optimized

Reliability, Availability and Security
  • Includes Overlapping Protection Domains (OPD) extended for control and data paths, extension of hardware-assisted troubleshooting, and data integrity capabilities.

Management Optimized

Reliability, Availability and Security
  • Backward compatible with 4-Gbps and 2-Gbps speeds.
  • A single common driver per operating system for three generations of FC HBAs (8Gb, 4Gb, and 2Gb) simplifies deployment.
  • QLogic’s unified driver model (firmware embedded in the driver) eliminates potential interoperability issues between firmware and driver version
