QLogic SANblade QLA2342-CK - 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X to 2Gb Fibre Channel Adapter with two LC multi-mode optic connector
Qlogic QLA2342
The QLA2342 is a PCI interface card manufactured by Qlogic. We gathered information from several on-line sources and complied it here. We hope you find it helpful. If you have any more useful information about this product, please let us know so we can add it to this site.
Overview:
Designed and deployed by major server and storage OEMs, the QLogic SANblade QLA2342 and QLA2342L host bus adapters (HBAs) offer two independent channels of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel combined with 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X. Enabling double IOps with only one PCI/PCI-X slot, the QLA2342 and QLA2342L eliminate traditional host bottlenecks that impede the high performance of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel. This union of the fastest I/O and host technologies creates the perfect balanced solution.Cost Effective:
These HBAs are based on unique, single-chip fibre channel controller architecture from QLogic. For a powerful, scalable solution that maximizes bandwidth and PCI/PCI-X slot usage while maintaining a cost-effective price per port, the QLA2342 is the ultimate choice. If you are looking for low-profile boards for 1U and 2U servers, the QLA2342L, a low-profile version of the QLA2342, is the perfect fit.Leading Single Chip Integration:
The QLA2342/2342L uniquely integrates a RISC processor, a Fibre protocol engine, and transceivers into a single, efficient FC controller chip that increases reliability and performance by lowering CPU utilization.Broad OEM Acceptance:
The QLA2342/2342L HBA is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. The QLA2340's extensive certification from major server and storage manufacturers makes it the perfect choice for multiplatform requirements.
Easy Managment:
The QLogic SANsurfer Management Suite™ is available free of charge. This software set simplifies management by making setup, configuration, and maintenance easy, along with features such as remote management, load balancing, failover, and target persistent binding. In addition, the easy to use SANblade Control FX wizard-based application is available on Windows™, Linux . , and Solaris . operating systems. SANblade Control FX provides simple, local host initialization, configuration, and diagnostic functions. The QLA2342/2342L is also fully compatible with management applications that support the SNIA API, allowing IT managers to reduce HBA management time and lower their total cost of ownership.
Proven Architecture:
The QLA2342/2342L architecture is the result of more than 15 years of progressive development and testing. Proven architecture from QLogic delivers higher overall reliability and enables advanced functionality with its single-chip integration, placing QLogic years ahead of its competitors. The QLA2342/2342L also has proven interoperability with all major software applications, hardware platforms, and operating systems.
