OVERVIEW
SANs with Ethernet and IP: iSCSI
IT managers now
have a choice when considering SAN management options. The QLE4060C and QLE4062C
(collectively referred to as the QLE406xC) iSCSI Host Bus Adapters (HBAs)
provide connectivity to SANs over Ethernet and TCP/IP network infrastructures
for PCI Express bus-based servers. Using a widely deployed and familiar
networking technology, iSCSI can lower the total cost of ownership to better
manage and support storage networking.Networking and Storage Performance
By off-loading the iSCSI and
TCP/IP protocol to the adapter, the QLE406xC eliminates the processing,
interrupts, and bus accesses required to support protocols in host software. The
QLE406xC virtually eliminates the host CPU system processing required for iSCSI
and TCP/IP, delivering the equivalent performance of direct attached storage
(DAS) and Fibre Channel (FC) SANs
IPv6 Support
QLogic is the first to
offer IPv6 support in an iSCSI TOE adapter. IPv6 is the next generation of IP
addressing, which quadruples the number of network address bits from 32 bits (in
IPv4) to 128 bits. As networks migrate to the updated IP protocol, IT managers
can be assured that the QLE406xC will interoperate in emerging network
environments.
Familiar Storage
Functionality
The QLE406xC
utilizes the existing storage interface of the operating system. Using a
familiar storage interface allows the QLE406xC to support proven LUN and
target-level fail-over functionality, storage SAN boot, and existing SAN
management and application software.
Comprehensive Operating
System (OS) Support
QLogic offers the broadest range
of support for all major operating systems to ensure OS and hardware server
compatibility. Drivers are fully tested with industry-recognized certifications
from all the major operating systems, including Windows®, Linux®, and Solaris.
Guaranteed
Interoperability
Storage partner certifications, combined with agency and regulatory testing,
ensures that all products meet world compliance hardware and software
specifications. All HBAs are tested extensively with third-party hardware, along
with multiple software applications, to ensure best-in-class SAN
interoperability and compatibility. You can be confident purchasing QLogic HBAs
to meet your storage networking needs.
