Data Sheet

OVERVIEW

To keep pace with dynamic and growing business demands, many

organizations are transitioning their data centers to private cloud

architectures to leverage the many benets of virtualization. This

approach enables them to consolidate, scale, simplify, and automate

their IT resources to increase business agility while reducing capital and

operational expenditures. The QLogic BR-1860, designed for today’s data

centers, simplies the journey to the private cloud.

Server virtualization continues to be a key technology for enabling private

cloud architectures. Organizations worldwide are taking virtualization to

the next level, increasing virtual machine (VM) densities and virtualizing

mission-critical workloads. This trend is increasing demand for shared

storage and atter, more scalable networks—as well as higher bandwidth

and I/O capacity for client/server and storage networks.

To help address that demand, the BR-1860 Fabric Adapter meets all

the connectivity needs of cloud-enabled data centers while providing

unmatched performance, application-aware services, unied

management, and reduced cost and complexity. It is the simplest, most

exible, and most powerful server connectivity adapter designed to extend

fabric services to VMs and applications in highly demanding virtualized

environments (Figure 1).

A SINGLE ADAPTER FOR ALL CONNECTIVITY NEEDS

Available in single-port and dual-port models, the BR-1860 features

QLogic AnyIO technology, making it the industry’s rst multiprotocol

server connectivity product designed for highly virtualized, cloud-enabled

data centers. The BR-1860 is a new class of adapters that combines a

Gen 5 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter with a 10-gigabit Ethernet (GbE)

Converged Network Adapter and a NIC to support native Fibre Channel,

TCP/IP, data center bridging (DCB) Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet

(FCoE), and iSCSI running simultaneously in a single product.

• Provides a class of adapters that meets all Fibre Channel and

Ethernet connectivity needs in cloud-enabled data centers

• Supports Gen 5 Fibre Channel and 10GbE DCB connectivity for

TCP/IP, iSCSI, and FCoE with QLogic AnyIO

technology

• Consolidates I/O devices and optimizes QoS with QLogic vFLink

technology

• Enhanced virtualization support, including Windows Server

2012 Virtual Fibre Channel and network QoS (bandwidth

management) functionality

• Centralized management through single pane-of-glass by

integration with Brocade
