- Supports virtualized servers for overall effective server utilization
- Allows multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical ports
- 256 queue pairs for intensive virtualization
- Prioritization of queues prevents conflicts between multiple queues
- Fault tolerant 8Gb HBA architecture
- Latest generation technology saves power
- Reduced number of components on each FC HBA reduces overall power consumption
- Lower power consumption means HBA requires lower airflow
- 8/4/2 automatic speed negotiation without throttling down to the lowest target speed on the network
- Multi-path support for redundant HBAs and paths including Linux driver failover
- Superior performance capable of sustaining up to 200,000 I/Os per second per channel
- RoHS compliance
- QLogic SANsurfer manager for centralized management and remote control of distributed HBAs
The QMH2562 is a PCI Express based 8Gb Fibre Channel mezzanine card for the HPE c-Class BladeSystem that delivers twice the data throughput as the previous generation 4Gb mezzanine card. It is optimized for virtualization, low power usage, management, security, reliability, availability and serviceability.
While providing leading edge 8Gb performance, it is also backward compatible with 4Gb and 2Gb Fibre Channel speeds.
QLogic QMH2562 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA for c-Class BladeSystem allows multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port. Each logical connection has its own resources and the ability to be managed independently.
QLogic QMH2562 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA for c-Class BladeSystem takes advantage of the QLogic StarPower technology ensuring a power efficient HBA. The QLogic StarPower technology offers features such as power and bandwidth intelligent PCIe link training and low-power switching power supplies.
QLogic QMH2562 8Gb Fibre Channel HBA for c-Class BladeSystem enables SAN-level authentication, fabric-level isolation, and end-to-end data integrity. Features include; authentication through FC-SP, data integrity through T10 CRC and access control in virtualized environments.
