SDP
The QLogic HCA creates an expressway between the server and the
InfiniBand fabric, allowing information transfer at 10 Gbps, up to 10 times the
bandwidth of current server interfaces. A comprehensive host environment
of high performance ULPs contained within the QLogic software family
enables the HCA to provide unprecedented performance to core business
applications that are supported by DBMS clustering, High Performance
Business Computing (HPBC), and High Availability Clustering.
QLogic HCA in the Enterprise. Combined with its ULPs, the HCA is the channel
by which today’s complex and costly enterprise environments quickly evolve
to feed ever-growing processing requirements. Clustering, Ethernet, and
Fibre Channel are all concurrently supported via a single 10-Gb pipe. The
net effect is a significantly reduced level of infrastructure complexity and
improved business responsiveness, with a lower total cost of ownership.
The HCA, used in conjunction with QLogic’s family of InfiniBand clustering
switches and virtual I/O systems, is part of a complete end-to-end InfiniBand
solution ready to enable today’s servers to handle tomorrow’s processing
requirements.
Guaranteed Interoperability. InfiniBand ecosystem partner certifications,
combined with agency and regulatory testing, ensures all products meet
industry compliance hardware and software specifications. All HCAs are
tested extensively with third-party hardware, along with multiple software
applications, to ensure best-in-class InfiniBand interoperability and
compatibility. You can be confident purchasing QLogic HCAs to meet your
InfiniBand 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.
