FIBRE CHANNEL PROTOCOL CONTROLLER
To keep pace with the considerable performance demands in today鈥檚 SAN
and storage virtualization applications, LSI Logic offers an unprecedented
dual-channel PCI-X-to-Fibre Channel controller鈥搕he LSIFC929X.
An extremely cost-effective, power-efficient Fibre Channel solution, the
LSIFC929X controller enables OEMs and system integrators the full advantages
of today鈥檚 dual-channel drive storage devices. The LSIFC929X controller
frees up valuable PCI-X board slots, and additionally eliminates the need for
a PCI bridge, a second single-channel Fibre Channel controller and the
associated memory and support devices of current dual-channel designs. The
result is marked savings in circuit board real estate and power consumption,
making the LSIFC929X controller the Fibre Channel solution for servers, RAID
and storage area networks. The LSIFC929X controller features 2 Gbit data
rates per channel ideal for designing highly integrated systems. The controller
supports all Fibre Channel topologies with full duplex communications on
both channels and offers industry leading performance in target mode.
The LSIFC929X controller is the first true multifunctional device supporting
Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) intermixed and
simultaneous on both channels. Providing designers the greatest flexibility in
system configuration, IP traffic can be fully intermixed with SCSI traffic or
routed separately to an individual channel. Also, IP and SCSI traffic can
coexist in NT systems without the need for a full port driver.
