| QEM2462 Host Bus Adapter |
|
The QEM2462 is the industry’s first, true enterprise class, 4-Gbps FC ExpressModule. ExpressModule is a new form factor for PCI Express I/O adapters. The QEM2462 is based on the same design as the high-performance SANblade QLE2462 FC HBA. The QEM2462 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.
|
| Enterprise Class Features |
The QEM2462 HBA is the highest performing and most reliable FC ExpressModule 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 1600 MBps throughput, and support for PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QEM2462 ExpressModule 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 QEM2462 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 |
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 FC ExpressModules 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 ExpressModules/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 ExpressModules/HBAs to meet your FC storage networking needs.
