 QLA2200

Overview:

The SANblade 2200 Series is based on QLogic's award-winning Fibre Channel architecture and is designed for performance in the Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. The 2200 Series provides all the benefits of Fibre Channel technology – fabric connections for hundreds of devices, bandwidth to 200 MB/s (in full duplex) and distances through 20Km – in a highly integrated, cost-effective package. With PCI, CompactPCI (cPCI), and SBus models, the high-performance 2200 Series supports SAN-enabled features, like F-port fabric login, full duplex, Class 2, FC-tape and IP protocol, creating a powerful SAN connectivity solution.

Real World Scalability:

The SANblade 2200 Series supports key features that are critical to real-world application performance. The high-speed, on-chip RISC processor and high-level software interface enable the 2200 Series to complete multiple I/O operations without host intervention, creating the lowest CPU utilization of any SAN adapter on the market. The result is the ability to add multiple host adapters with linear performance increases, expanding the reach of your SAN with minimal hardware investment. To further boost performance, QLogic's configuration utility provides tunable parameters for application-specific needs, and our industry-leading Reduced Interrupt Operation (RIO) allows you to significantly reduce CPU interrupts per I/O.

SAN-Enabled Software Solutions:

The SANblade 2200 Series is designed for maximum functionality in the SAN. Cutting-edge SAN utilities like QLogic Management Suite provide advanced capabilities for remote configuration and management, load-balancing and LUN-masking. Enhanced software drivers include support for SAN-critical features including concurrent SCSI/IP and FC-tape. Plus, QLogic's unique software architecture simplifies integration, with an easy host software migration path between parallel SCSI and Fibre Channel applications. The 2200 Series is far more than just hardware - it's a complete I/O solution.

Proven Interoperability:

QLogic ships more Fibre Channel controller solutions than any other supplier and our I/O controllers connect every type of SAN end-node including hard disk and tape drives, RAID controllers, tape libraries, UNIX and NT servers, storage sub-systems and video workstations. We're also driving the standard for SAN interoperability, with a full suite of OS drivers and extensive Fibre Channel testing in SAN environments. You can feel confident that a QLogic Fibre Channel connection is the right connection.
