The QLogic QMH2462 4Gb FC HBA Adapter provides the c-Class BladeSystem with two 4Gb Fibre Channel ports for fast and reliable SAN connectivity. Through the implementation of a SAN with the HP BladeSystem, customers can achieve improved data availability, easily scale capacity, and realize management cost savings from consolidating disk resources. Fibre Channel capability is achieved using a QLogic FC Mezzanine HBA specifically designed for HP c-Class BladeSystem. The HP BladeSystem is optimized for HP StorageWorks and compatible with third party storage vendors.

Key Differentiators:

This new adapter is RoHS compliant, has low power requirements, 150,000 IOPS per port 4Gb performance and driver support for Windows and Linux.
