OVERVIEW
Based on QLogic's award-winning Fibre Channel architecture, the QLA2300 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 QLA2300 Series has been optimized for peak performance and real-world scalability.
UNPRECEDENTED BALANCED PERFORMANCE. QLogic has pushed the performance envelope with the QLA2300 Series. Engineered for maximum bandwidth, the QLA2300 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 QLA2300 Series to hit breakneck speeds.
