QLE2764-SR-CK 3.0 x16 Quad Port Fiber Channel Adapter 

product overview

        QLE2764-SR-CK is a high-performance Quad port (4-port) Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) that supports PCIe 3.0 x16 interfaces. It is designed specifically for enterprise storage area networks (SANs) and is suitable for applications that require  high bandwidth and low latency, such as virtualization, databases, media storage, and cloud computing.

Key Features

port configuration

        4 independent 16Gbps fiber channel ports, supporting flexible deployment (SFP+optical modules need to be configured separately).

         Each port can automatically negotiate to 4Gbps, 8Gbps, or 16Gbps, compatible with existing FC infrastructure.

High performance interface

        PCIe 3.0 x16 bus interface provides a theoretical bandwidth of up to 128Gbps (bidirectional), ensuring bottleneck free parallel operation of multiple ports.

protocol support

        Compliant with FC-PI-5 standard, supporting protocols such as FCP (SCSI), FICON, NVMe over FC, etc.

         Hardware acceleration features: TCP/IP offloading, data encryption (such as support for T10 PI data integrity protection).

Low latency and high reliability

          Adopting ASIC acceleration technology to reduce CPU overhead, suitable for high-throughput scenarios.

         Support multi-path I/O (MPIO) and link redundancy to ensure business continuity.

Compatibility and Management

         Compatible with mainstream operating systems: Windows Server, Linux (RHEL/SLES), VMware iPadOS.

          Provide QLogic HBA management tools (such as SANsurfer) that support firmware upgrades and real-time monitoring.

Physical specifications

            Standard full height (FH) and full length (FL) PCIe cards require SFP+fiber modules (such as SR short distance or LR long distance).

Typical power consumption:<15W (depending on port load).

Application scenarios

             Enterprise SAN storage: Connect storage arrays such as EMC, NetApp, HPE, etc.

Virtualization Platform: Provides high bandwidth storage networks for VMware HANA and Microsoft Hyper-V.

             Big data and databases: low latency demand scenarios such as Oracle RAC and SQL Server.

           Media processing: 4K/8K video editing, broadcasting and non editing system.
