QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 16 Gb Fibre Channel HBAs
Product Guide
The QLogic Enhanced Generation 5 (Gen 5) 16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Single and Dual-port Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs) for Lenovo ThinkSystem and System x servers offer industry leading native FC
performance with extremely low CPU usage with full hardware offloads.
Enhanced Gen 5 FC technology provides advanced storage networking features capable of supporting the
most demanding virtualized and private cloud environments, while fully leveraging the capabilities of high-
performance 16 Gb FC (16GFC) and all-flash arrays (AFAs). Powerful management tools automate and
simplify SAN provisioning to help reduce cost and complexity, while the unmatched 16 Gbps performance
eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today's powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers.
The QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 16 Gb FC HBAs are shown in the following figure.
