Qlogic QLE2564-WB HBA, 8GB QUAD PORT HBA PCI-E

Description

The Qlogic QLE2564-WB is a high-performance quad-port 8Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) designed for enterprise-class servers. This adapter utilizes the PCI-Express interface for high-speed communication with the server's motherboard and offers four independent Fibre Channel ports, each capable of operating at 8Gb/s. This configuration provides exceptional connectivity options for Storage Area Networks (SANs), enabling high bandwidth and robust redundancy. The quad-port design is particularly beneficial for environments requiring extensive SAN connectivity, such as dense server deployments, high-availability clusters, or systems that need multiple paths to storage for performance and resilience. The 8Gb/s speed ensures that data can be moved rapidly between servers and storage arrays, supporting demanding applications like databases, virtualization, and high-performance computing. With its advanced features, including support for multipathing, the QLE2564-WB enhances data availability and fault tolerance. It allows administrators to configure multiple connections to storage, ensuring that if one path fails, data access can continue seamlessly through an alternative path. This HBA is a critical component for organizations seeking to build a highly available, high-performance, and scalable SAN infrastructure.
