Data Sheet
OVERVIEW
The QOE2562 is the first dual-port mezzanine Fibre Channel Adapter built
for Open Compute Project (OCP) form factor server platforms. Designed to
meet enterprise data center business requirements, including support for
a large quantity of Fibre Channel ports with a limited availability of PCIe
®
slots. The QOE2562 adapter delivers best-in-industry performance and the
highest level of data protection. The adapter interfaces to the host server
with a PCIe Gen2 bus, ensuring no internal performance bottlenecks.
QLogic’s 8Gb adapters meet the requirements of the data center by
providing power and virtualization optimization, as well as backwards
compatibility with previous 4Gb and 2Gb technology. In addition, the
2500 Series adapters work in both PCI Express
® Gen1 and Gen2 host bus
interface platforms.
OCP FORM-FACTOR OPTIMIZED
The QOE2562 provides two full-duplex ports of 8Gb Fibre Channel
connectivity in an OCP mezzanine form factor. The industry’s only two-port
OCP mezzanine 8G Fibre Channel adapter, the QOE2562 allows for higher
port density in PCIe-slot-challenged systems.
POWER
The QOE2562 adapter offers dynamic and adaptive power management
features such as power- and bandwidth-optimized intelligent PCI Express
link training, low-power switching power supplies, and a thermally
efficient layout.
VIRTUALIZATION OPTIMIZED
The QOE2562 adapter delivers enhanced security and allows multiple
logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port. Each logical
connection has its own resources and can be managed independently.
SIMPLIFIED SETUP
Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simplify the adapter
setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy adapters across
a SAN using standard adapter management tools and device utilities.
LEADERSHIP, CONFIDENCE, AND TRUST
With over 15 years of experience and seven generations of Fibre Channel
products, QLogic is the undisputed leader in Fibre Channel Adapters.
