QLA2462 Host Bus Adapter. The QLA2462 is the industry's first, true
enterprise class, 4-Gbps to PCI-X 2.0 HBA. The QLA2462 not only
delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but
also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data
centers.
enterprise class, 4-Gbps to PCI-X 2.0 HBA. The QLA2462 not only
delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but
also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data
centers.
Enterprise Class Features. The QLA2462 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 the PCI-X
2.0 266-MHz DDR bus speed. More importantly, the QLA2462 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 simply the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can
quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using standard HBA management
tools and device utilities. The QLA2462 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.
