Q Simplify QLA2350/2352 Data Sheet 2-Gb Fibre Channel to PCI-X Host Bus Adapters 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(R) 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.
