QLA2342

The QLogic QLA2352 is a 64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X to 2Gb Dual Channel Fibre Channel Adapter, multi-mode optic, with VI capability.

Why QLogic? 

Designed and deployed by major server and storage OEMs, the QLogic SANblade QLA2342 and QLA2342L host bus adapters (HBAs) offer two independent channels of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel combined with 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X. Enabling double IOps with only one PCI/PCI-X slot, the QLA2342 and QLA2342L eliminate traditional host bottlenecks that impede the high performance of 2-Gbps Fibre Channel. This union of the fastest I/O and host technologies creates the perfect balanced solution.
   
Cost Effective

These HBAs are based on unique, single-chip fibre channel controller architecture from QLogic. For a powerful, scalable solution that maximizes bandwidth and PCI/PCI-X slot usage while maintaining a cost-effective price per port, the QLA2342 is the ultimate choice.If you are looking for low-profile boards for 1U and 2U servers, the QLA2342L, a low-profile version of the QLA2342, is the perfect fit.
  
Leading Single Chip Integration

The QLA2342/2342L uniquely integrates a RISC processor, a Fibre protocol engine, and transceivers into a single, efficient FC controller chip that increases reliability and performance by lowering CPU utilization.
  
Broad OEM Acceptance

The QLA2342/2342L HBA is validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. The QLA2342/2342L extensive certification from major server and storage manufacturers makes it the perfect choice for multiplatform requirements.
