The qle2462 is the industry's first, true enterprise class, 4-gbps to pci express x4 hba. The qle2462 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.The qle2462 hba is the highest performing and most reliable hba in the industry. It 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 qle2462 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.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 qle2462 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.
