SANblade 2-Gbps Fibre Channel to PCI Express Host Bus Adapters TM QLE2360/ QLE2362 Features PCI Express 2-Gbps Fibre Channel to PCI-Express Host Bus Adapters Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters * 2-Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) to PCI Express x4 host bus adapter (HBA) * Native support for all major operating systems, including MicrosoftTM Windows 2003, Red HatTM Linux, and SuSE(R) Linux * Single and dual channel versions maximize performance and take advantage of PCI Express slots * Autonegotiation of Fibre Channel speed (1 Gbps or 2 Gbps) * Concurrent support for SCSI and IP protocols * HBA and LUN level failover * Local and remote management * Load balancing for optimized performance * Enhanced beacon/LED indicators * Proactive failure detection and alerts * Enhanced SANsurfer Management SuiteTM software combines remote and local FC switch and HBA management functionality in a single, central console WHY QLOGIC? QLogic(R) HBAs have been deployed in major server and storage OEMs and are known for their robustness, reliability, and performance. QLogic supports PCI Express with the QLE2360 (single FC port) and QLE2362 (dual FC port) PCI Express to 2-Gbps Fibre Channel HBAs. These FC HBAs are targeted for servers in direct attached storage (DAS) as well as storage area network (SAN) environments. WHY PCI EXPRESS? PCI Express is a serial host bus that provides higher throughputs, lower pin counts, and ease of scalability. This technology is being adopted by major server OEMs. PCI Express x4, supported by the QLE2360/2362, provides 2-GBps host bus speeds, addressing increasing higher throughput requirements. HIGHER PERFORMANCE. The QLE2360/2362 has an enhanced RISC processor on the FC controller chip, providing up to 160,000 I/Os per second by having completely independent, internal resources for each port. EASY MANAGEMENT. The QLogic SANsurfer Management Suite supports the QLE2360/2362 and is available free of charge. This full-featured GUI combines the management of FC HBAs and switches into a single console for remote and local management. Some of the software's features include load balancing, failover, LUN masking, and target persistent binding. The QLE2360/2362 is fully compliant with SNIA API. Enhanced beacon/LED indicators reduce time and effort for diagnostics and HBA management, thus reducing total cost of ownership. PROVEN ARCHITECTURE. The QLE2360/2362 architecture is the result of more than 15 years of progressive development and testing; affirming the QLogic commitment to research and development. Proven architecture from QLogic delivers higher overall reliability and enables advanced functionality, placing QLogic years ahead of its competitors. The QLE2360/2362 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 choosing the QLogic solution.
