Fibre Channel to PCI-X Host Bus Adapters (2GB)
QLA2340: Single Port, Fiber Optics, 64-bit, Standard PCI-X 133Mhz
The SANblade QLA2340 host bus adapter (HBA) offers the ultimate in performance: 2-Gb Fibre Channel combined with 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X. Eliminating traditional host bottlenecks that impede the high performance of 2-Gb Fibre Channel, this union of the fastest I/O and host technologies creates the perfect balanced solution.
These HBAs are based on QLogic’s unique single chip fibre channel controller architecture. These multimode optic HBAs are specifically designed for servers in direct attach storage (DAS) as well as storage area network (SAN) environments. The QLA2340 is the right solution for the added boost in
performance. If you are looking for low-profile boards for 1U and 2U servers, the QLA2340L, a low-profile version of the QLA2340, is the perfect fit.
