Two Fibre Channel ports provide high-speed connectivity for connecting a compatible QNAP NAS to an existing Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure.
Use your QNAP NAS as flexible storage or a backup solution in a SAN environment without the cost and time involved in replacing the existing infrastructure.
Configuration through the iSCSI & Fibre Channel application in QTS or QuTS hero supports Fibre Channel Target, WWPN addresses, multipath connectivity, LUN masking, and port binding.
The QNAP Fibre Channel expansion card enables you to connect a compatible QNAP NAS server to an existing Fibre Channel SAN network. Once installed in a PCIe slot, the NAS can serve as flexible storage for demanding applications, centralized data storage, and backup without requiring the costly replacement of the entire SAN infrastructure.
Together with the features of QTS or QuTS hero, you get a modern storage solution with options such as LUN snapshots, Qtier automatic tiering, SSD cache acceleration, and hybrid cloud backup. A QNAP NAS can thus combine the benefits of SAN, NAS, and cloud storage in a single device.
The iSCSI & Fibre Channel application allows you to configure the NAS as a Fibre Channel Target and connect it to a SAN environment using WWPN addresses. Support for FC switches and multipath connectivity helps ensure availability for multiple servers, while LUN masking and port binding features contribute to improved data security.
