Traditionally, Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols are
implemented in multi-tier, clustered environments. However,
this implementation inherently includes high overhead and
latency. Consequently, this implementation cannot meet the
high performance demanded in today’s fast paced, real-time
environments. With the introduction of Fibre Channel (FC) and
Virtual Interface (VI) architecture technology in multi-tiered,
clustered environments, the jump to the next level of
performance is here.
Designed as the optimum interconnect for Windows 2000
Datacenter cluster environments, QLogic’s Enterprise Class
QLA2350 and QLA2352 2-Gb FC to 133-MHz PCI-X host bus
adapters (HBAs) with VI support offer the price/performance
advantages of FC as well as the benefits of VI architecture, an
open, standards based messaging protocol. The QLA2350
(single channel) and the QLA2352 (independent dual
channels) enable scalability, availability, and reliability at a
significant cost savings compared to more expensive
proprietary clustering technologies.
In a collaborative effort, Microsoft® and QLogic have
created the ideal solution for Database cluster environments
running Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Datacenter Server
with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and the QLA2350 and
QLA2352 with VI.
Features
■1024 VI connections per port
■512-MB concurrent memory registration for RDMA per
port
■User defined memory registration for send/receive
(limited only by host memory size)
■Support for SCSI, IP, and VI protocols
■Reduced interrupt operation (RIO) and zero interrupt
operation (ZIO) operation modes
■Configurable MTU up to 256 KB
■Easy detection of activities through an LED panel
■SANblade Control VIX utility that allows you to:
❒Configure VI (host and HBA)
❒Change host/HBA VI parameters
❒Perform HBA persistent binding
❒Set NVRAM parameters
❒Change NVAM setting functionality
❒Perform VI diagnostics:
❒Peer-to-Peer
