Qlogic 11222022-FC0610403-05 SANblade 2200 Series 2 x Ports 66M PCI Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

Description

The Qlogic 11222022-FC0610403-05 is a Host Bus Adapter from the SANblade 2200 Series, designed to connect servers to Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs). This particular model features two Fibre Channel ports, each operating at a speed of 66MB/s. These ports utilize the Fibre Channel protocol, which is a standard for high-speed data transfer in storage networks, ensuring reliable and efficient communication between the server and storage devices. This HBA uses a standard PCI interface, indicating its suitability for older server systems that may not be equipped with PCI Express slots. While 66MB/s is a lower bandwidth by today's standards, it was considered high-performance for its era and is sufficient for many legacy applications or less demanding storage workloads. The SANblade series from Qlogic is known for its reliability and compatibility within the Fibre Channel ecosystem. The primary function of this adapter is to enable servers to access shared storage resources over a Fibre Channel fabric. It acts as the bridge, translating server I/O requests into Fibre Channel frames and vice versa. For environments still utilizing older infrastructure or requiring connectivity for legacy servers, this Qlogic HBA provides a functional solution for SAN access.
