Virtualization Optimized. The QLE2564 delivers enhanced security, Quality of Service (QoS), and enables dynamic provisioning. The QLE2564 allows
multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port. Each logical connection has its own resources and the
ability to be managed independently.
Form-Factor Enhancement The QLE2564 has been designed with a length of 6.6 inches (167.6 mm), allowing additional support for dense 1U Gen2 rack
servers and increasing connectivity, which was not available with the standard 8.0-inch (203.2 mm) length of the 4Gb adapter
product.
RAS Optimized The QLE2564 provides the highest data integrity by ensuring Overlapping Protection Domains (OPD) on both the control and
data paths.
Security Optimized The QLE2564 enables SAN-level authentication (FCSP), fabric-level isolation (NPIV), and is capable of end-to-end data
integrity (T10).
Mangement Optimized The QLE2564 is backward compatible with 4Gb and 2Gb speeds. A single common driver per operating system for three
generations of FC adapters (8Gb, 4Gb, and 2Gb) simplifies deployment. QLogic’s unified driver model (firmware embedded in
the driver) eliminates potential interoperability issues between firmware and driver versions. The QLE2564’s API compatibility
with 4Gb products accelerates deployment while ensuring application compatibility.
