Replacing Fibre Channel SAN environments can be expensive and time-consuming. Installing a PCIe-based Fibre Channel card in a QNAP NAS gives your existing SAN environment an affordable storage or backup solution. A QNAP NAS is not only more cost-effective than traditional SAN devices but also offers rich enterprise features to make storage applications more efficient — such as LUN snapshots, automatic Qtier configuration, SSD cache acceleration, hybrid cloud backup solutions, and more. A Fibre Channel-enabled QNAP NAS is an integrated storage solution that provides SAN, NAS, and cloud storage capabilities with higher cost efficiency and application flexibility.
Common Fibre Channel SAN (Storage Area Networks) are closed network environments, and their devices are often expensive, while also lacking flexibility for expansion. QNAP introduces dual-port 16Gb/32Gb Fibre Channel expansion cards that offer high performance, reliability, security, and energy-efficient Fibre Channel. With a QNAP Fibre Channel card in your QNAP NAS, your NAS can be added to an existing SAN environment at an affordable price to meet high-performance storage and backup requirements.

Fibre Channel connection management using the iSCSI and Fibre Channel application
Use the QTS / QuTS hero iSCSI & Fibre Channel application to set up the QNAP NAS as a Fibre Channel target and add the NAS to your SAN environment with WWPN addresses. You can also take advantage of the Fibre Channel switch that allows multiple connection paths for many servers to share the NAS. Additionally, the LUN Masking and Port Binding features provide an extra layer of security for your data.
