QLA2460 Host Bus Adapter

The QLA2460 is the industry’s first, true enterprise class, 4-Gbps to PCI-X 2.0 HBA. The QLA2460 not only delivers unprecedented levels of performance and availability, but also intelligent networking features specific to enterprise class data centers.

Enterprise Class Features

The QLA2460 HBA is the highest performing and most reliable HBA in the industry. It delivers unmatched performance by leveraging a single ASIC design, combining a unique hardware architecture to deliver over 150,000 IOPS, nearly 800 MBps throughput, and support for the PCI-X 2.0 266-MHz DDR bus speed. More importantly, the QLA2460 HBA provides new intelligent storage networking features that redefine the enterprise class HBA, providing increased data protection, advanced frame routing, and enterprise wide management capabilities.

Simplified Setup

Point-and-click installation and configuration wizards simplify the HBA setup process. Storage administrators can quickly deploy HBAs across a SAN using standard HBA management tools and device utilities. The QLA2460 is fully compatible with SNIA HBA API and SMI-S, thereby allowing administrators to manage QLogic HBAs using third-party software applications.

Comprehensive Operating System (OS) Support
