Product Description
The Hitachi QLE2460-HDS-SP is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to provide robust and efficient connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Manufactured by QLogic, a leading provider of storage networking solutions, this adapter is branded by Hitachi, indicating its integration into Hitachi's storage ecosystem. The adapter features a single Fibre Channel port capable of operating at a speed of 4Gb/s, which was a significant speed tier for SANs during its prime, offering substantial bandwidth for data transfer between servers and storage arrays. Utilizing the PCI Express x4 interface, the QLE2460-HDS-SP ensures a high-speed connection to the server's motherboard. The PCIe x4 interface provides a dedicated bandwidth of up to 2GB/s in each direction (for PCIe 1.0), which is more than sufficient to saturate a 4Gb/s Fibre Channel link (which is approximately 0.5GB/s). This high-speed interface is critical for minimizing latency and maximizing throughput in demanding storage environments, ensuring that servers can access data from the SAN quickly and efficiently. This HBA is ideal for enterprise environments that rely on SANs for centralized storage management, data redundancy, and high availability. It supports standard Fibre Channel protocols, making it compatible with a wide range of SAN infrastructure components. The single-port design offers a cost-effective solution for servers that require dedicated SAN connectivity without the need for multiple ports, while still delivering the reliability and performance expected from QLogic technology.
