Marketing Information |
QLE2462 Host Bus Adapter
The QLE2462 is the industry’s first, true enterprise class, 4-Gbps to
PCI Express x4 HBA. The QLE2462 not only delivers unprecedented levels
of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking
features specific to enterprise class data centers.
Enterprise Class Features
The QLE2462 HBA is the highest performing and most reliable HBA in the
industry. It delivers unmatched performance by leveraging a single ASIC
design, combining a unique hardware architecture to deliver over 300,000
IOPS, nearly 1.6 GBps throughput, and support for PCI Express x4 bus
speeds. More importantly, the QLE2462 HBA provides new intelligent
storage networking features that redefine the enterprise class HBA,
providing increased data protection, advanced frame routing, and
enterprise wide management capabilities.
Simplified Setup
Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simplify the HBA
setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a
SAN using standard HBA management tools and device utilities. The
QLE2462 is fully compatible with SNIA HBA API and SMI-S, thereby
allowing administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software
applications.
Comprehensive Operating System (OS) Support
QLogic offers the broadest range of support for all major operating
systems to ensure OS and hardware server compatibility. Drivers are
fully tested and available for all major operating systems and hardware
server platforms. A single driver strategy per OS allows storage
administrators to easily deploy and manage HBAs in heterogeneous SAN
configurations.
Guaranteed Interoperability
Storage partner certifications, combined with agency and regulatory
testing, ensures all products meet world compliance hardware and
software specifications. All HBAs are tested extensively with
third-party hardware, along with multiple software applications, to
ensure best-in-class SAN interoperability and compatibility. You can be
confident purchasing QLogic HBAs to meet your FC storage networking
needs.
Investment Protection
For over 15 years, QLogic has been a technological leader with products
that address the current needs of customers, yet provide strong
investment protection to support emerging technologies and standards.
QLogic stands alone in the industry with its product portfolio depth and
experience in successfully delivering technological solutions that
address the needs of today and tomorrow. |
