Data Storage Systems, Inc. offers the full line of QLogic fibre channel
solutions including the QLogic QSB2342 FC Host Bus Adatper (HBA) .
Along with all the QLogic fibre channel products, DSS, Inc. offers
implementation/integration services if needed. For further information
and assistance, please call our sales department at (763) 416-0474.
Designed as the optimum choice for Sun Microsystems servers implementing SBus, the QLogic SANblade QSB2342 host bus adapter (HBAs) offer 2-Gbps Fibre Channel combined with 64-bit, 25-MHz SBus. This union provides the performance and interoperability needed for highly scalable storage area networks (SANs). These multimode optic HBAs are specifically targeted for SUN enterprise servers in direct attach storage (DAS) as well as SAN environments.

Cost Effective
The QSB2342 is the right solution for the added boost in performance if you require a dual port, 2-Gbps SBus HBA.
Leading Single Chip Integration
The QSB2342 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 QSB2342 HBA is validated by every major OEM including EMC and Sun. The QSB2340’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 QSB2342 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 QSB2342 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 QSB2340 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.
