The QLgoic 6140 provides low cost multi-protocol SAN connectivity between servers,
storage and SANs. On the storage side, the router provides any SAN Devices with
multi-protocol connectivity. Now all RAID, VTL, and Tape (libraries and drive) devices
can be accessed via iSCSI without having to use precious FC connection slots. The
QLogic 6140 routes traffic between iSCSI and FC, providing low cost multi-protocol
support for all FC devices.
