QLogic 45GPC-QLE2564-T-DEL 4 x Ports 8Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI-Express 2.0 Host Bus Adapter

Description

The QLogic 45GPC-QLE2564-T-DEL is a powerful Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed to facilitate high-speed and reliable connectivity to Storage Area Networks (SANs). Equipped with four 8Gb/s Fibre Channel ports, this adapter provides ample bandwidth for demanding storage applications in enterprise environments. Each port operates independently, allowing for multiple connections to different storage devices or fabric switches, enhancing redundancy and performance. The adapter utilizes a PCI-Express 2.0 x8 interface, ensuring a high-bandwidth connection to the host server's motherboard. This interface provides sufficient throughput to keep pace with the aggregate speed of the four Fibre Channel ports, minimizing bottlenecks between the server and the SAN. The QLE2564-T-DEL is engineered for low latency and high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), which are critical factors for the performance of storage-intensive applications such as databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. Designed for enterprise-grade reliability, this QLogic HBA supports advanced features like NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization), which allows multiple virtual WWNs (World Wide Names) to be assigned to a single physical port. This is essential for server virtualization environments where each virtual machine requires its own unique SAN identity. The 45GPC-QLE2564-T-DEL is a robust solution for organizations looking to build or expand their Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure with dependable and high-performing connectivity.
