Product Description
The QLogic QLA2342-BRACKET-STD is a high-performance Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that enables servers to connect to Storage Area Networks (SANs). This specific model is part of QLogic's SANblade family, renowned for its reliability and performance in enterprise storage environments. The adapter features two Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at a data rate of 2Gb/s. This dual-port design is crucial for implementing redundant data paths, ensuring continuous access to storage resources even in the event of a single path failure. The interface utilized by the QLA2342 is a 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X slot. This interface was common in servers of its era, providing sufficient bandwidth for 2Gb/s Fibre Channel traffic. The PCI-X standard offers higher throughput compared to older PCI interfaces, making it suitable for demanding I/O operations such as those found in SAN environments. The card comes equipped with a standard bracket, ready for installation into a compatible PCI-X slot on a server motherboard. This HBA is designed to facilitate efficient and reliable data transfer between servers and storage arrays. It plays a critical role in enterprise data centers by providing the necessary connectivity for centralized storage solutions, enabling features like data sharing, high availability, and disaster recovery. The QLA2342 is a robust solution for environments that require dedicated, high-speed access to SAN storage.
