Enterprise Class Features. The QLE2440 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
100,000 IOPS, nearly 800 MBps throughput, and support for PCI
Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QLE2440 HBA provides
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 QLE2440 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.
