Cost Effective
The QLA2340 is the right solution for the added boost in performance. If you are looking for low-profile boards for 1U and 2U servers, the QLA2340L, a low-profile version of the QLA2340, is the perfect fit.
Leading Single Chip Integration
The QLA2340L 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 QLA2340L HBA is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. TheQLA2340’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 QLA2340L 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 QLA2340L 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 QLA2340L 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
