Cost Effective
With the union of the fastest I/O and host technologies, the QLA2344 eliminates traditional host bottlenecks that impede the high performance of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel. For the most scalable solution that maximizes connectivity and PCI/PCI-X slot usage while maintaining a cost effective price per port, the QLA2344 is the ultimate choice.
Investment Protection
Designed for high-connectivity applications, the SANblade QLA2344 is ideal in the slot-limited environment of PCI-X. With four fibre channel ports on one board in one slot, along with performance that scales as channels are added, the QLA2344 offers more channel and device connectivity while lowering overall system port cost.
Broad OEM Acceptance
QLogic FC technology and software is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. The QLA2344’s extensive certification from major server and storage manufacturers makes it the perfect choice for Multi-platform 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 QLA2344 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 QLA2344 architecture is the result of more than 15 years of progressive development and testing. Provenarchitecture from QLogic delivers higher overall reliability and enables advanced functionality with its single-chip integration, placing QLogic years ahead of its competitors. The QLA2344 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
