Overview

The Celerity FC-24XL quad-channel Fibre Channel host adapter offers four independent channels of 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel connectivity making it especially versatile for embedded and edge device designs. Building upon our industry-leading hardware design capabilities, the FC-24XL can be used for basic connectivity and as an advanced platform for intelligence and scalability. At the heart of the FC-24XL is the Integrated Offload & Processing Center (IOPC). Using an Intel XScale® processor core and an internal 133 MHz PCI-X data bus for top performance and low latency, the FC-24XL IOPC can be adapted to perform a variety of high-value functions that take advantage of onboard buffering and processing. These capabilities include direct port-to-port transfers, data stream manipulation, offload processing, video handling and other custom advanced functions. By providing capabilities and performance not available in other quad-channel solutions, the Celerity FC-24XL allows the movement of intelligence and data manipulation to the edge of the fabric.
