Cost Effective
The dual-channel QCP2342 maximizes connectivity and optimizes port density.
Leading Single Chip Integration
The QCP2342 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 QCP2342 HBA is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. The QCP2342’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 QCP2342 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 Architecture
The QCP2342 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 QCP2342 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.
