QMH2462 Fibre Channel HBA. The QMH2462 enables 4-Gbps Fibre
Channel in the HP c-Class BladeSystem. The QMH2462 not only delivers
unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent
networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.
Enterprise Class Features. The QMH2462 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
PCI Express x4 bus speeds. More importantly, the QMH2462 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 QLogic SANsurfer HBA management tools and
device utilities. The QMH2462 is also fully compliant with industry standard
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), including SNIA HBA API and SMI-
S. This compatibility allows administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using
third-party software applications.
Comprehensive Operating System Support. QMH2462 drivers exist for all
major operating systems. A single driver strategy per OS allows storage
administrators to easily deploy and manage HBAs in heterogeneous SAN
configurations. In addition, QLogic’s unified driver model, whereby firmware
is bundled with the driver, eliminates any potential interoperability issues
between the driver and firmware and reduces the number of software
components to be managed. QLogic’s comprehensive driver suite includes
support for Intel and AMD based BladeSystem blades.
Guaranteed Interoperability. Storage partner certifications, combined with
agency and regulatory testing, ensures all products meet world compliance
hardware and software specifications. All 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 HBAs to meet your FC storage networking needs.
