Enterprise Class Features
The QEM2462 HBA is the highest performing and most reliable FC ExpressModule 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 1600 MBps throughput, and support for PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QEM2462 ExpressModule provides new intelligent storage networking features that redefine the enterprise class HBA, providing increased data protection, advanced frame routing, and enterprise wide management capabilities.
Simplified Setup
Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simplify the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using standard HBA management tools and device utilities.
The QEM2462 is fully compatible with SNIA HBA API and SMI-S, thereby allowing administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software applications.
Comprehensive Operating System (OS) Support
Drivers are fully tested and available for all major operating systems and hardware server platforms. A single driver strategy per OS allows storage administrators to easily deploy and manage FC ExpressModules in heterogeneous SAN configurations.
Guaranteed Interoperability
Storage partner certifications, combined with agency and regulatory testing, ensures all products meet world compliance hardware and software specifications. All ExpressModules/HBAs are tested extensively with third-party hardware, along with multiple software applications, to ensure best-in-class SAN interoperability and compatibility. You can be confident purchasing QLogic ExpressModules/HBAs to meet your FC storage networking needs.
