| QME2462 Fibre Channel HBA |
|
The QME2462 enables 2-Gbps Fibre Channel in Dell PowerEdge blade servers. The QME2462 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.
|
| Enterprise Class Features |
The QME2462 delivers unmatched performance by leveraging a single ASIC design, combining a unique hardware architecture to deliver over 300,000 IOPS, nearly 800 MBps overall throughput, and support for PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QME2462 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 simply the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using QLogic SANsurfer HBA management tools and device utilities. The QME2462 is also fully compliant with industry standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including SNIA HBA API and SMI-S. This compatibility allows administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software applications.
|
| Comprehensive Operating System |
|
Support. QME2462 drivers exist for all operating systems supported by Dell PowerEdge blade servers. A single driver strategy per OS allows storage administrators to easily deploy and manage HBAs in heterogeneous SAN configurations. In addition, QLogic’s unique unified driver model, whereby firmware is bundled with the driver, eliminates any potential interoperability issues between the driver and firmware and reduces the number of software components to be managed.
|
| 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.
