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.
