QLogic 2562, Dual Port 8Gb Optical Fibre Channel HBA

QLogic 2562 FC  \  Dual Port 8Gb HBA

The Qlogic 2562 Host Bus Adapter from Dell offers an exceptional performance and advanced management functionality that can shave days off installing and managing adapters.

It is coupled with up to 1x better IOPS performance per watt, which makes Dell 8GB Fibre Channel (8GFC) host bus adapters the clear choice for the toughest virtualized, cloud and mission critical deployments.

QLogic 2500 Series Network Adapters are designed to meet the business requirements of the enterprise data center through the lowest possible power consumption and the highest level of performance.

The QLogic 2562 FC adapters interface to the host server with a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 bus, ensuring no internal performance bottlenecks.

The 2500 Series 8Gb Adapters are the highest performing adapters in QLogic’s industry-leading Fibre Channel  technology portfolio.

Choosing QLogic 2562 FC 8Gb adapters will not only meet today’s demanding data center requirements by providing power and virtualization optimization, but investment protection is built in through backward  compatibility with previous generations’ (4Gb and 2Gb) technology. In addition, 2500 Series Adapters work in both PCIe Gen1 and 2.0 host bus interface platforms.

QLogic’s unique Dynamic Power Management technology enables the 2500 Series Adapters to provide the lowest possible power consumption.

VIRTUALIZATION OPTIMIZED

The 2500 Series Adapters deliver enhanced security and quality of service (QoS), and they enable dynamic provisioning.

2500 Series QLogic 2562 FC Adapters also allow multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port.

Each logical connection has its own resources and the ability to be managed independently.

POWER OPTIMIZED

The 2500 Series Adapters take advantage of QLogic StarPower technology, ensuring power efficiency.

QLogic 2562 FC StarPower technology offers dynamic and adaptive power management features such as power and bandwidth optimized intelligent PCIe link training, low-power switching power supplies, and a thermally efficient layout requiring lower airflows.

RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SERVICEABILITY (RAS) OPTIMIZED

The 2500 Series Adapters provide the highest data integrity by ensuring overlapping protection domains (OPDs) on both the control and data paths.

In addition, 2500 Series adapters use enhanced hardware assist firmware tracing (EHAFT), allowing more comprehensive debugging with standard drivers.
