QLA2462 Host Bus Adapter. The QLA2462 is the industry’s first, true
enterprise class, 4-Gbps to PCI-X 2.0 HBA. The QLA2462 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.
Enterprise Class Features. The QLA2462 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 the PCI-X 2.0 266-MHz DDR bus speed. More importantly, the QLA2462 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 QLA2462 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 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.
