QLE236x Host Bus Adapter. The QLE236x is a high-performance,
2-Gbps to PCI-Express HBA. The QLE2360 is a single port HBA, the
QLE2362 is a dual port HBA. Unlike other HBAs, the QLE236x delivers
unprecedented levels of performance and availability. All HBAs in the
SANblade QLE236x family are managed by the QLogic SANsurfer FC
HBA Manager, which provides centralized management and remote
control of distributed HBAs.
Why PCI Express? PCI Express is a serial host bus that provides
higher throughputs, lower pin counts, and ease of scalability. This
technology is being adopted by major server OEMs. PCI Express x4,
supported by the QLE236x, provides 2-GBps FC data rate, addressing
increasing higher throughput requirements.
Higher Performance. The QLE236x has an enhanced RISC processor
on the FC controller chip, providing up to 160,000 I/Os per second
by having completely independent, internal resources for each port.
