Description

Dual-port 64GFC HBA for resilient, high-throughput SAN connectivity. Supports NVMe/FC and FCP, leverages PCIe 4.0 x8, and offers advanced virtualization (SR-IOV, NPIV) and port failover/load-balancing with backward compatibility to 32/16/8G.

Features

- Dual 64GFC ports for throughput scaling and path redundancy
- NVMe/FC enables accelerated access to modern all-flash arrays
- SR-IOV and NPIV deliver efficient virtualization and zoning flexibility
- Backward-compatible with 32/16/8G fabrics

FAQs

Q: Can the two ports be used for redundancy?
A: Yes. Use dual fabrics and multipathing (MPIO) or failover policies for high availability.

Q: Does it interoperate with older 16G fabrics?
A: Yes. It auto-negotiates to 32G/16G/8G speeds.

Q: Is NVMe/FC supported concurrently with FCP?
A: Yes, the adapter supports NVMe/FC alongside traditional FCP traffic patterns.

Q: What optics form factor is required?
A: SFP56 short-wave optics for 64GFC; ensure matching transceivers and cabling across the link.
