The Cisco UCS CNA M72KR-Q QLogic Converged Network Adapter (CNA) is a QLogic-based Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) mezzanine card that provides connectivity for Cisco UCS blade servers in the Cisco Unified Computing System.
Designed specifically for the Cisco UCS blades, the adapter provides high-performance connectivity for SAN and LAN traffic. One Cisco UCS M72KR-Q can do the work of a discrete Fiber Channel host bus adapter (HBA) and Ethernet network interface card (NIC). This convergence means fewer cables, fewer switches, less power consumption, reduced cooling, and unified LAN and SAN management.

QLogic Fiber Channel controller application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
QLogic Fiber Channel controller application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) allow customers to use existing QLogic HBA software and drivers for storage.
-
Unified I/O
Unified I/O helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN and SAN traffic run over the same mezzanine card and fabric.
-
Network architecture
Provide redundant path to fabric interconnect using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to the fabric carrying both Fiber Channel and Ethernet traffic.
-
Unified management
Through Cisco UCS Manager, automatically discovers blades and the mezzanine cards on the blades.
-
Support for lossless Ethernet
Use priority flow control (PFC) and IEEE 802.3x pause to enable FCoE as part of the Cisco unified fabric.
