The QLogic Intelligent Pass-thru Module provides a fully interoperable solution for seamless integration of the Fiber Channel initiators to an existing fabric. The pass-thru module provides open, standards-based NPIV interface in IBM BladeCenter; it helps simplify SAN interoperability and scalability. Changes to the fabric are not required as fabric interoperability and the management of the fabric remain in the core of the existing SAN.
Key features:
* Provides an elegant solution for scaling fabrics without increasing management complexity
Offers the speed of a fabric switch without the management complexity
* Eliminates E_Port Switch-to-switch incompatibility
* Utilizes N_Port ID Virtualization Standard to present initiators to fabric as N_Ports
* Fully interoperable with all supported vendor fabrics and management applications available on BladeCenter
* Fully supports 2 Gb, 4 Gb initiators from QLogic and Emulex
* Provides 14 server blade ports and six SFP-enabled fabric ports
* Is capable of attaching to multiple fabrics
* Combines multiple physical host IDs to present several hosts to the fabric on a single port within the Intelligent Pass-Thru Module
