QXP-32G2FC
Add a QNAP NAS to your existing Fibre Channel SAN environment with an affordable solution.
Typical Fibre Channel SANs (Storage Area Networks) are closed network environments, often expensive, and lacking deployment flexibility. QNAP introduces a dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fibre Channel expansion card that provides high-performance, reliable, secure, and energy-efficient Fibre Channel solutions. With a QNAP Fibre Channel card in a QNAP NAS, you can add a NAS to your existing SAN environment at a low cost, meeting your high-performance storage and backup needs.
NAP NAS as a Fibre Channel SAN Solution
Replacing Fibre Channel SAN environments can be expensive and time-consuming. By installing Fibre Channel cards in the PCIe slots of your QNAP NAS, you can transform your existing SAN environment into a budget-friendly storage or backup solution. A QNAP NAS is not only more affordable than typical SAN devices, but also offers many useful features that contribute to increased performance in storage applications, including LUN snapshots, Qtier auto-tiering, SSD cache acceleration, hybrid cloud backup solutions, and more. Fibre Channel-ready QNAP NAS is a unified storage solution that provides SAN, NAS, and cloud storage capabilities with greater cost-effectiveness and application flexibility.
Manage Fibre Channel Connections with the iSCSI & Fibre Channel App
Use the QTS/QuTS hero iSCSI & Fibre Channel app to configure a QNAP NAS as a Fibre Channel Target and add the NAS to your SAN environment using WWPN addresses. You can also use an FC switch to enable multiple connection paths so multiple servers can share the NAS. Furthermore, LUN Masking and Port Binding provide an additional layer of security for your data.
