The QNAP QXP-32G2FC 2-Port PCIe Fibre Channel Expansion Card features high performance, reliability, security, and energy efficient Fibre Channel. Common Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Networks) are closed network environments, and their devices are often expensive while lacking deployment flexibility. With the QNAP QXP-32G2FC Fibre Channel card in your QNAP NAS, your NAS can be added to an existing SAN environment to fulfil requirements for high-performance storage and backup.

• Dual SFP+ port 32GbE Gen 6 Fibre Channel expansion card.
• PCIe interface: PCIe Gen3 x8.
• Cost-effective way of adding your NAS to an existing SAN environment.

QNAP NAS as a Fibre Channel SAN storage solution

Replacing Fibre Channel SAN environments can be expensive and time consuming. By installing the QXP-32G2FC, a PCIe-based Fibre Channel card, to a QNAP NAS (see accessories tab), your existing SAN environment gains a budget-friendly storage or backup solution. Not only is a QNAP NAS more affordable than typical SAN devices, but it also provides rich enterprise features to make storage applications more efficient – including LUN snapshots, Qtier auto-tiering, SSD cache acceleration, hybrid cloud backup solutions, and much more. The Fibre Channel-ready QNAP NAS is a unified storage solution that provides SAN, NAS, and cloud storage features with higher cost-effectiveness and application flexibility.

Manage Fibre Channel connection using iSCSI and Fibre Channel app

Use the QTS iSCSI & Fibre Channel app to set the QNAP NAS as a Fibre Channel Target, and add the NAS to your SAN environment with WWPN addresses. You can also take advantage of the Fibre Channel Switch that allows multiple connection paths to have multiple servers share the NAS. In addition, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an additional layer of security for your data.
