| QMH2462 Fibre Channel HBA |
|
The QMH2462 enables 4-Gbps Fibre Channel in the HP c-Class BladeSystem. The QMH2462 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.
|
| Enterprise Class Features |
The QMH2462 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 PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QMH2462 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 QMH2462 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 |
|
QMH2462 drivers exist for all major operating systems. A single driver strategy per OS allows storage administrators to easily deploy and manage HBAs in heterogeneous SAN configurations. In addition, QLogic’s 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. QLogic’s comprehensive driver suite includes support for Intel and AMD based BladeSystem blades.
|
| 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.

| High Performance |
- 300,000 IOPS (150,000 IOPS per port) delivers high I/O transfer rates for storage applications
- Intelligent interleaved DMA (iiDMA) ensures maximum utilization of data links
- Out-of-Order Frame Reassembly (OoOFR) reduces congestion and retransmissions
|
| Superior Scalability |
- Multi-ID and N_Port virtualization ready. Allows physical ports to be part of multiple logical networks
- Virtual fabric (VSAN) ready. Allows physical ports to be part of multiple logical ports
- Comprehensive operating system (OS) driver support including Windows, Linux, VMware, NetWare, and HP-UX
|
| Enhanced Reliability |
- Overlapping protection domains for continuous protection of internal data paths
- Dual-port design protects against “single point of failure” via BladeSystem midplane routing to redundant switch modules.
