[QLE2660] Qlogic QLE2660-CK PCI Express Single-port 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

Features

The QLogic 16Gb FC Single-port and Dual-port HBAs have the following features:

Port architecture that offers independent functionality on each port -- independent CPU, isolated memory and independent firmware image -- provides higher reliability and predictable performance.
Support for Message Signaled Interrupts eXtended (MSI-X) improves host utilization and enhances application performance.
Support for 16 Gb, 8 Gb, and 4 Gb FC devices.
Full hardware offload for Fibre Channel protocol.
Support for PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 3.0 host interfaces.
Comprehensive virtualization capabilities with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) with 255 N_Port IDs per port.
Host-to-fabric Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) authentication.
A common driver model allows a single driver to support all QLogic HBAs on a given operating system.
Universal boot capability allows the appropriate boot environment to be automatically selected for any given hardware.
Boot from SAN capability reduces the system management costs and increases uptime.

Management software:
The QLogic QConvergeConsole (QCC) management software delivers a unified web based single-pane-of-glass management console across the QLogic family of storage and networking adapters. A graphical user interface (GUI) or command line interface (CLI) are available. A VMware vCenter plug-in is also available.
Common IT tasks, such as VLAN configuration and teaming, can be easily accomplished either through QConvergeConsole or through native OS tools, thereby minimizing IT training and deployment costs.
Role-based authentication allows for separate logins and access for SAN and LAN administrators. This eliminates the need to change your organizational structure as you converge your network.
