- 4 Gb/s SFP Fiber-Optic Transceivers
The QX4 HPFC-6400B 4 Gb/s Fiber Channel Controller PCIe Card is for storage networking applications. It's the seventh-generation Tachyon series of Fiber Channel controllers end exceeds 1.3 million input/output per second (IOPS) at 512-byte data payload and 2.7 GB/s in bandwidth. This card features an eight-lane PCI-Express system bus that supports four times the bandwidth of prior PCIe systems and up to 3.2 GB/s overall bandwidth. The QX4 offers storage OEMs breakthrough performance and port density in a single chip.
To achieve the 2.7 GB/s bandwidth performance, the Tachyon QX4 was configured as a host server/initiator that transmits and receives 4 Gb/s video and data through a 4G (4 Gb/s) fabric switch. The configuration uses/4 Gb/s SFP (small form factor pluggable) fiber-optic transceivers connected to four target mode servers with two/DX4+ FC controllers on each server. The 1.3 million IOPS was achieved in the same configuration, powered by 3.6 GHz Xeon processor running Agilent's test software and measuring 512-byte initiator reads.
Several data-intensive applications on the market such as video streaming, image processing and backup that require high-throughput will benefit from 4 Gb/s link speeds. Optimized for storage arrays,/Agilent's new quadport Fibre Channel controller with PCI-Express provides high performance for RAID storage subsystems, virtualization devices and intelligent storage routers. The Tachyon QX4's single chip, quad-port design delivers enhanced reliability and reduced development time, costs and risk for storage networking OEMs. It also enables them to leverage their existing investment in 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel storage solutions. The/Tachyon HPFC-6400B is fully backward compatible with existing 2 Gb/s and 1 Gb/s Fibre Channel SANs.
The HP QX4 HPFC-6400B 4 Gb/s Fiber Channel Controller PCIe Card may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
