Product Review

The CISCO UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF, with its dual ports and PCIe 3.0 x8 bus type, provides an impressive interface speed of 32 Gbps, ensuring high performance for demanding network environments. The card supports up to 1.3 million IOPS and has a throughput of 32GFC line rate per port, which accommodates intensive data transfer needs, but it is limited to two ports, which might restrict connectivity options for larger setups. Additionally, its compatibility with a range of servers from the C220 M5 to previous M4 models, alongside comprehensive diagnostics and management features, makes it a versatile choice for various deployment scenarios, though the port limitation may necessitate additional cards for expansive network requirements.

Overview

The CISCO UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF is a high-performance network adapter designed to enhance the connectivity and speed of servers. It features two ports and operates on an 8-lane PCIe 3.0 bus, providing a high-speed interface for demanding data environments. The adapter supports a 32 Gbps interface speed, leveraging the full capabilities of Fibre Channel (FC) technology to facilitate rapid data transfer and communication between networked devices. With support for up to 1.3 million Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), this adapter is capable of handling intense workloads, making it suitable for enterprise-level operations where data integrity and speed are critical. Moreover, it supports both INTx and MSI-X host interrupts, allowing for efficient and flexible handling of network communications. The throughput of this device reaches a 32GFC line rate per port, ensuring that data flows smoothly and without bottlenecks, even under heavy network traffic conditions. Additionally, it can handle up to 2,048 concurrent logins and 2,048 active exchanges per port, which is essential for maintaining high levels of performance in environments with multiple devices and users. Key features include: - Port virtualization through N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), enabling multiple logical connections over the same physical port for enhanced network flexibility and virtualization support. - Comprehensive diagnostics including HBA port diagnostics, Link Cable Beaconing (LCB), and Read Diagnostic Parameters (RDP), ensuring the network remains operational and any issues can be swiftly identified and addressed. - Efficient deployment and management tools, such as FC Ping and Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) enhancements, simplify the setup and ongoing maintenance of the network infrastructure. The adapter is housed in a low-profile PCIe card form factor, making it compatible with a wide range of server models, including the Cisco C220 M5, C240 M5, C480 M5, and prior M4 servers. This ensures that the adapter can be easily integrated into existing infrastructures without the need for extensive modifications or upgrades. For developers and administrators seeking to integrate or manage the adapter using custom or third-party tools, the CISCO UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF supports the SNIA HBA API V2 and SMI-S, providing a standardized interface for programming and management tasks. Operational efficiency is further supported by a wide range of operating and storage temperatures, from 0 °C to 55 °C for operating conditions, and -20 °C to 70 °C for storage. This ensures that the adapter remains reliable and performs optimally even in challenging environmental conditions. The device also maintains its integrity in varying humidity levels, from 10% to 90% non-condensing for operating humidity, and 5% to 95% for storage humidity, safeguarding against moisture-related damage. In summary, the CISCO UCSC-PCIE-QD32GF is a versatile and high-performing network adapter that offers advanced features and specifications to support the most demanding data center environments. Its focus on speed, connectivity, and reliability makes it an essential component for businesses looking to maintain a competitive edge in the digital era.
