QEM2462 Host Bus Adapter. The QEM2462 is the industry’s first, true
enterprise class, 4-Gbps FC ExpressModule. ExpressModule is a new form
factor for PCI Express I/O adapters.The QEM2462 is based on the same design
as the high-performance SANblade QEM2462 FC HBA. The QEM2462 not
only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also
intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.
Enterprise Class Features. The QEM2462 HBA is the highest performing
and most reliable FC ExpressModule 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 1600 MBps throughput, and
support for PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QEM2462
ExpressModule 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
simplify the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy
HBAs across a SAN using standard HBA management tools and device utilities.
The QEM2462 is fully compatible with SNIA HBA API and SMI-S, thereby
allowing administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software
applications.
Comprehensive Operating System (OS) Support. Drivers are fully tested and
available for all major operating systems and hardware server platforms. A
single driver strategy per OS allows storage administrators to easily deploy
and manage FC ExpressModules in heterogeneous SAN configurations.
Guaranteed Interoperability. Storage partner certifications, combined with
agency and regulatory testing, ensures all products meet world compliance
hardware and software specifications. All ExpressModules/HBAs are
tested extensively with third-party hardware, along with multiple software
applications, to ensure best-in-class SAN interoperability and compatibility.
You can be confident purchasing QLogic ExpressModules/HBAs to meet your
FC storage networking needs.
Investment Protection. For over 15 years, QLogic has been a technological
leader with products that address the current needs of customers, yet
provide strong investment protection to support emerging technologies and
standards.
