Enterprise Class Features 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.
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 QLE2462 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 QLogic offers the broadest range of support for all major operating systems to ensure OS and hardware server compatibility.
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 HBAs 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 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 HBAs to meet your FC storage
networking needs.
