Product Description
The Dell 1KK8WL, featuring the QLogic QLE2662 chipset, is a high-performance 16Gb/s Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for enterprise-level servers. This dual-port HBA provides two independent Fibre Channel connections, each capable of operating at a full 16Gb/s speed, enabling robust and redundant connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs). The low-profile form factor (MD2) ensures compatibility with a wide range of server chassis, including those with limited internal space, such as blade servers or 1U rack-mount systems. Leveraging the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, the 1KK8WL offers substantial bandwidth to the host system, minimizing latency and maximizing throughput for demanding storage I/O operations. This makes it an ideal solution for mission-critical applications that require fast and reliable access to storage, such as databases, virtualization environments, and high-performance computing clusters. The dual ports provide options for load balancing and failover, enhancing network resilience and availability. This HBA supports advanced features like N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) for improved SAN management and scalability, and Brocade's Fabric Vision technology for enhanced monitoring and diagnostics. It utilizes standard LC small form-factor connectors for the Fibre Channel links. As a Dell-branded component, it is optimized for integration with Dell PowerEdge servers, ensuring seamless compatibility and performance.
