Marvell QLogic QLE2742-SR Dual-Port 32GFC Fibre Channel HBA
Dual-Port 32GFC Connectivity for Enterprise SANs
The Marvell QLogic QLE2742-SR is based on the QLE2742 dual-port 32GFC Fibre Channel host bus adapter platform for high-performance storage networking. The adapter uses a PCIe 3.1 x8 host interface and provides two 32GFC ports for SAN environments supporting demanding enterprise, virtualized, and private cloud workloads.
The QLogic 2740/2760 Series delivers up to 2.6 million IOPS and supports Fibre Channel NVMe alongside traditional FCP storage. FC-NVMe capability enables simultaneous access to NVMe and FCP storage on the same port, helping organizations use modern flash storage while maintaining Fibre Channel infrastructure. Marvell StorFusion technology adds provisioning, diagnostics, QoS, and resiliency capabilities to the adapter platform.
