The Marvell® QLogic® 2750 Series are Enhanced 32-Gigabit Fibre Channel (GFC)
Controllers that secure mission critical data with hardware-based Root of Trust (RoT).
The controllers are available in dual and quad port models.
Leveraging over 16 years of market leadership, the 2750 Series FC Controllers are
designed from the ground up for customers looking to accelerate databases, host more
virtual machines (VMs), and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), while leveraging their
investment in nonvolatile memory express (NVMe™)-based all ash arrays. Marvell
QLogic 2750 Series Controllers provide full backward compatibility to 16GFC SANs; the
2700 Series Controllers provide full backward compatibility to 16GFC and 8GFC SANs.
NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC-NVMe)
Workloads that demand higher throughput, IOPS, and lower latency are moving to ash.
The NVMe protocol has been designed from the ground up for ash and features deep
parallelism, random access, and ash access over PCI Express® (PCIe) to maximize
bandwidth.
NVMe works best when coupled with a network that can provide lossless, low-latency,
and highperforming transport. FC-NVMe extends these benets over a Fibre Channel
fabric.
The 2750 Series Controllers support low-latency access to scale out NVMe with full
support for the FC-NVMe protocol. The 2750 Series Controllers can simultaneously
support FC-NVMe and FCP-SCSI storage trafc on the same physical port, enabling
customers to migrate to NVMe at their own pace.
The 2750 Series Controllers bring the best of both worlds by offering up to 4 million
IOPS and line rate 32GFC performance, while delivering low-latency access to NVMe and
SCSI storage over a Fibre Channel network.

Enhanced 32GFC Fibre Channel Controllers
Firmware Integrity Protection with Hardware Root of Trust
The Enhanced 32GFC 2750 Series Controllers incorporate a secure hardware based RoT
to protect against rogue rmware. Security threats continue to evolve and increase,
driving Chief Information Ofcers towards securing the server all the way down to the
rmware at the lowest layers of the server platform, where attacks are the most difcult
to detect. To address this issue, the Marvell QLogic 2750 Series Controllers incorporate
a hardware RoT that prevents malicious rmware from hijacking the FC controller. The
2750 Series RoT enables both integrity and authenticity during controller rmware
updates by both validating rmware embedded signatures with hardware embedded
keys to ensure that only bona de rmware executes, and protecting rmware updates
that are applied over public networks.
Fully Featured FC Technology
Marvell QLogic Enhanced 32GFC technology provides the industry’s most fully featured
32GFC controller, designed to meet and exceed the requirements of modern SANs.
Marvell’s FC solution offers 50-percent higher per-port performance (1 million IOPS)
than previous generations; and its power-efcient, port-isolated design enables data
centers to reduce their carbon footprint.
Marvell QLogic 2750 Series FC Controllers resolve data center complexities by enabling
a storage network infrastructure that supports powerful virtualization features like
N_Port ID virtualization (NPIV), application-aware services with standards based quality
of service (QoS), and simplied management.
Marvell StorFusion technology delivers streamlined provisioning and improved resil-
iency with built-in forward error correction (FEC). These features address the needs of
agile IT organizations that run hybrid cloud infrastructures and require mission-critical
reliability, guaranteed network performance, and the ability to scale their SANs to
business needs.
Innovations that Improve Business Productivity and Integrity
Marvell QLogic FC Controllers powered by StorFusion technology include advanced
capabilities when deployed with supported Brocade® and Cisco® switches. By imple-
menting these industry leading solutions together, SAN administrators can take
advantage of enhanced features that improve availability, accelerate deployment, and
increase network performance.
Improved Total Cost of Ownership and Reliability
StorFusion technology delivers advanced link diagnostics, which improve availability and
support for high-performance fabrics. Using the Diagnostics Port feature with a
Brocade or Cisco switch that supports Fibre Channel diagnostics, administrators can
quickly run a battery of automated diagnostic tests to assess the health of links and
fabric components.
