OVERVIEW
Based on QLogic's
award-winning Fibre Channel architecture, the SANblade
2300 Series are 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI/133 MHz PCI-X to
2-Gigabit Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters. Targeted
specifically for Storage Area Networks (SANs) and server
clustering environments, the SANblade 2300 Series has been
optimized for peak performance and real-world scalability.
UNPRECEDENTED BALANCED
PERFORMANCE. QLogic has pushed the performance
envelope with the SANblade 2300 Series. Engineered for
maximum bandwidth, the SANblade 2300 Series is the first
to support both 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel and 133 MHz PCI-X,
resulting in the union of the two fastest I/O
technologies. This combination eliminates host bus
bottlenecks that may impede the high performance of 2Gb
Fibre Channel and creates the perfect balanced solution.
To further boost IOPs performance, we've doubled our
embedded RISC processor performance and moved time
critical functions into the hardware modules allowing the
SANblade 2300 Series to hit breakneck speeds.
SAN & CLUSTERING
SOLUTIONS. The SANblade 2300 Series is the ultimate
choice for open systems solutions for SAN and server
clustering, with support for concurrent multiple protocols
- SCSI, IP, Virtual Interface (VI) and FC-Tape. Optimized
for high-speed data movement, system management and
application-to-application communication within server
clusters, the SANblade 2300 Series provides the
flexibility needed to run complex storage networks.
Cutting-edge SAN utilities like QLogic Management Suite
provide advanced capabilities for remote configuration and
management, load-balancing, failover, and LUN-masking. The
SANblade 2300 Series is far more than just hardware, it's
a complete I/O solution. |
