| Why QLogic? |
|
Designed and deployed by major server and storage OEMs, the QLogic SANblade QLA2310 host bus adapter (HBA) offers the high performance of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) combined with 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI-X. This HBA is targeted for servers in direct attach storage (DAS) as well as storage area network (SAN) environments.
|
| Cost Effective |
Offering the added performance of 2 Gbps, the QLA2310, with its copper connection, offers the most cost-effective solution in the market. Network Computing recognized the QLA2310 as Editor’s Choice and Product of the Year for its superior driver implementation, ease of use, and impressive performance. Increasing overall system efficiency and performance, the QLA2310 completes I/O requests independent of the host.
|
| Leading Single Chip Integration |
The QLA2310 uniquely integrates a RISC processor, a Fibre protocol engine, and transceivers into a single, efficient FC controller chip that increases reliability and performance by lowering CPU utilization. Broad OEM Acceptance. The QLA2310 HBA is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. The QLA2310’s extensive certification from major server and storage manufacturers makes it the perfect choice for multiplatform requirements.
|
| Simplified Setup |
Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simply the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using standard HBA management tools and device utilities. The QLA2310 is also fully compatible with industry standard application programming interfaces (APIs), including SNIA HBA API and SMI-S, thereby allowing administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software applications.
|
| Proven Architecture |
|
The QLA2310 architecture is the result of more than 15 years of progressive development and testing. Proven architecture from QLogic delivers higher overall reliability and enables advanced functionality with its single-chip integration, placing QLogic years ahead of its competitors. The QLA2310 also has proven interoperability with all major software applications, hardware platforms, and operating systems.
|
| The Bottom Line |
Driving the standard for interoperability with extensive FC testing in SAN environments, you can feel confident in choosing the QLogic solution.
