The Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter, identified by part number N20-AQ0002=, is a high-performance network adapter designed to work with Cisco UCS systems. This adapter combines the functionality of a Fibre Channel HBA with Ethernet networking, enabling seamless communication over Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). It offers dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports for a wide range of connectivity options, providing robust and efficient data transfer for enterprise environments.
One of the crucial features of this adapter is its PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 x8 interface, ensuring high-speed bandwidth capabilities across multiple applications. This makes it suitable for environments that require both high data throughput and flexibility, such as data centres and cloud infrastructures. The card supports FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), meaning it consolidates both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic over the same physical connection, a key factor in reducing cabling complexity and improving efficiency.
Another standout feature of the Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter is its support for virtualisation. With advanced capabilities like support for virtual machine (VM) fabric integration and SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualisation), organisations can efficiently handle traffic between virtual environments and their underlying physical hardware. This helps ensure better resource allocation and lower latency in heavily virtualised settings.
Additionally, the adapter offers VLAN and VSAN tagging capabilities, ensuring secure logical data separation. It also supports critical features like Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritising network traffic, which is particularly useful in environments running complex, latency-sensitive applications.
Overall, the Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter offers a reliable and high-performance solution for integrating Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic over a unified network interface, making it an ideal choice for modern data centres.
