Product Description
The NetApp QLE2562-NAP is a high-performance Host Bus Adapter (HBA) engineered to provide robust connectivity between servers and Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). Featuring dual ports, each capable of operating at 8Gb/s, this adapter offers significant bandwidth and redundancy for critical storage traffic. The 8Gb/s speed ensures low latency and high throughput, which are essential for demanding enterprise applications, virtualization environments, and high-performance computing. Designed with a low-profile PCI Express (PCIe) form factor, the QLE2562-NAP is suitable for installation in a wide range of servers, including those with limited internal space, such as blade servers or 1U rackmount systems. This versatility makes it a popular choice for consolidating storage and maximizing server density. The dual-port design not only increases aggregate bandwidth but also provides failover capabilities; if one path to the storage fails, traffic can automatically reroute through the second port, ensuring continuous data access. Leveraging QLogic's proven technology, this HBA offers advanced features for managing SAN environments, including support for various Fibre Channel protocols and error detection/correction mechanisms. It is a key component for organizations seeking to build or expand their SAN infrastructure, providing reliable, high-speed, and resilient access to shared storage resources. NetApp branding indicates its integration within NetApp's storage ecosystem, though it is based on QLogic's widely adopted HBA technology.
