QLogic QLE2562 Host Bus Adapter PCI Express 2.0 X8 Low Profile 8Gb
Fibre Channel 2 Ports

Product Description

The QLE2562 is a PCI Express, dual port, Fiber Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA). The QLE2562 is part of the QLE2500 HBA product family that offers next generation 8 Gb FC technology, meeting the business requirements of the enterprise data center. The QLE2562 delivers enhanced security, Quality of Service (Qo S), & enables dynamic provisioning. The QLE2562 allows multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port. Each logical connection has its own resources & the ability to be managed independently. The QLE2562 takes advantage of QLogic Star Power technology, ensuring power efficiency. QLogic Star Power technology offers dynamic & adaptive power management features such as power & bandwidth optimized intelligent PCI Express link training, low-power switching power supplies, & thermally efficient layout requiring lower airflows. The QLE2562 provides the highest data integrity by ensuring Overlapping Protection Domains (OPD) on both the control & data paths. The QLE2562 also utilizes Enhanced Hardware Assist Firmware Tracing (EHAFT), allowing more comprehensive debugging with standard drivers. The QLE2562 enables SAN-level authentication (FC-SP), fabric-level isolation (NPIV), & is capable of end-to-end data integrity (T10). The QLE2562 is backward compatible with 4 Gb & 2 Gb speeds. A single common driver per operating system for three generations of FC HBAs (8 Gb, 4 Gb, & 2 Gb) simplifies deployment. QLogic's unified driver model (firmware embedded in the driver) eliminates potential interoperability issues between firmware & driver versions. The QLE2562's API compatibility with 4 Gb products accelerates deployment while ensuring application compatibility. Please note: server components such as memory & power supplies must match those already installed in a server. To avoid compatibility clashes or for advice, please contact us on solutions@ebuyer.com.
