| |
| QEM3472 Combined Fibre Channel & Ethernet Expansion Card |
|
The QEM3472 is the industry’s first combo expansion card enabling 4-Gbps Fibre Channel and 1-Gbps Ethernet in a PCI ExpressModule form factor for Sun Blade 6000 and 8000 servers. The QEM3472 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also provides intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers..
|
| Enterprise Class Features |
The QEM3472 delivers unmatched Fibre Channel and Ethernet performance, providing over 300,000 IOPS, nearly 1.6GBps FC throughput, 1Gbps full-duplex Ethernet, and support for PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QEM3472 Host Bus Adapter (HBA) provides new intelligent storage networking features that redefine the enterprise class HBA, providing increased data protection, advanced frame routing, and enterprise wide management capabilities.
|
| Simplified Setup |
|
Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simplify the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using QLogic SANsurfer® HBA management tools and device utilities. The QEM3472 is also fully compliant with industry standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including SNIA HBA API and SMI-S. This compatibility allows administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software applications.
|
| Comprehensive Operating System Support |
|
QEM3472 drivers exist for all major operating systems. A single FC driver strategy per OS allows storage administrators to easily deploy and manage HBAs in heterogeneous SAN configurations. In addition, QLogic’s unique unified driver model, whereby firmware is bundled with the driver, eliminates any potential interoperability issues between the driver and firmware and reduces the number of software components to be managed by SAN administrators. Ethernet drivers are also available on QLogic’s website
|
| Guaranteed Interoperability |
Storage partner certifications, combined with agency and regulatory testing, ensures all products meet world compliance hardware and software specifications. All our HBAs are tested extensively with third-party hardware, along with multiple software applications, to ensure best-in-class SAN and Ethernet interoperability and compatibility.

| High Performance |
- 300,000 IOPS delivers high Fibre Channel (FC) I/O transfer rates for storage applications
- Intelligent interleaved DMA (iiDMA) ensures maximum utilization of FC data links
- Out-of-Order Frame Reassembly (OoOFR) reduces FC congestion and retransmissions
- CPU off-load for TCP/IP checksum calculation and jumbo frame support (9 KB) reduces CPU utilization and increases Ethernet throughput
|
| Superior Scalability |
- Multi-ID and N_Port virtualization ready. Allows physical FC ports to be part of multiple logical networks
- Virtual fabric (VSAN) ready. Allows physical FC ports to be part of multiple logical networks
- Comprehensive Operating System (OS) driver support including Windows®, Linux®, Solaris™, and VMware®
|
| Enhanced Reliability |
- Overlapping protection domains for continuous protection of internal data paths
