QLE2464 Host Bus Adapter. The QLE2464 is the industry's first, true
enterprise class, 4-Gbps to PCI Express x8 HBA. The QLE2464 not
only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability,
but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class
data centers.
 

Enterprise Class Features. The QLE2464 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 per port, nearly 3.2 GBps throughput, and support for
PCI Express x8 bus speeds. More importantly, the QLE2464 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 QLE2464 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.
 

Comprehensive Operating System (OS) Support. QLogic offers the
broadest range of support for all major operating systems to ensure
OS and hardware server compatibility. Drivers are fully tested and
available for all major operating systems, including Windows®,
Linux™, Solaris™, NetWare®, and Mac OS® X. A single driver strategy
per OS allows storage administrators to easily deploy and manage
HBAs in heterogeneous SAN configurations. QLogic’s driver suite
supports all major hardware server platforms, including 32/64-bit
computing platforms from Intel (IA32, IEM64T, IA64), AMD
(Opteron64), Sun (SPARC), and Apple® G5 (Power Mac®).
 

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.
 

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. QLogic stands alone in the
industry, its product portfolio depth and experience in successfully
delivering technological solutions that address the needs of today
and tomorrow.
