Why QLOGIC? Designed as the optimum choice for Sun
Microsystems servers implementing SBus, the QLogic SANblade
QSB2340 and QSB2342 host bus adapters (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).

Cost Effective. The QSB2340 is the right solution for the added boost
in performance if you require a single port, 2-Gbps SBus HBA. If you
want to maximize connectivity and optimize port density, the
QSB2342, a dual channel version of the QSB2340, is the perfect fit.

Leading Single Chip Integration. The QSB2340/2342 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.

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 QSB2340/2342 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.
