QLE4060C - QLogic 1GB Single -Port PCI Express ISCSI COPPER Host Bus Adapter with FULL HEIGHT Bracket

Description

The QLogic QLE4060C is a specialized Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that brings the benefits of iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) to servers through a standard Gigabit Ethernet connection. This single-port adapter allows servers to connect to storage area networks (SANs) over existing IP infrastructure, offering a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional Fibre Channel SANs. The 1Gb/s copper interface ensures broad compatibility with standard network switches and cabling. This adapter is designed to offload iSCSI processing from the server's CPU, improving overall system performance and efficiency. By handling the encapsulation and decapsulation of SCSI commands within IP packets, the QLE4060C enables seamless access to block-level storage devices located remotely on the network. This makes it an ideal solution for environments requiring centralized storage management, data sharing, and improved storage utilization. Installation is straightforward via a PCI Express (PCIe) slot, providing a direct connection to the server's motherboard. The QLE4060C is suitable for a range of applications, including small to medium-sized businesses, departmental servers, and environments looking to consolidate storage resources. Its robust design and QLogic's reputation for reliability ensure dependable performance for critical storage access.
