Why QLOGIC?
Designed and deployed by major server and storage
OEMs, the QLogic SANblade QLA2310F and QLA2310FL host bus
adapters (HBAs) offer the high performance of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel
combined with 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI-X. These multimode optic HBAs
are targeted for servers in direct attach storage (DAS) as well as
storage area network (SAN) environments.
Cost Effective.
For a cost-effective, optic solution for your SAN with
the added performance of 2 Gbps, the QLA2310F is the right solution.
If you are looking for low-profile boards for 1U and 2U servers, the
QLA2310FL, a low-profile MD2 compliant version of the QLA2310F,
is the perfect fit.
Leading Single Chip Integration.
The QLA2310F/2310FL 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 QLA2310F/2310FL 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 QLA2310F/2310FL 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 Archetecture.
The QLA2310F/2310FL 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
QLA2310F/2310FL 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.
