QLA2460 Host Bus Adapter. The QLA2460 is the industry's first, true
enterprise class, 4-Gbps to PCI-X 2.0 HBA. The QLA2460 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 QLA2460 not only
delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but
also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data
centers.
Enterprise Class Features. The QLA2460 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
150,000 IOPS, nearly 800 MBps throughput, and support for the
PCI-X 2.0 266-MHz DDR bus speed. More importantly, the QLA2460
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 QLA2460 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.
