OVERVIEW
The SANblade 2200 Series is
based on QLogic's award-winning Fibre Channel architecture
and is designed for performance in the Storage Area Network
(SAN) environment. The SANblade 2200 Series provides all the
benefits of Fibre Channel technology - fabric connections
for hundreds of devices, bandwidth to 200 MB/s (in full
duplex) and distances through 20Km - in a highly integrated,
cost effective package. The high performance SANblade 2200
Series supports SAN-enabled features, like F-port fabric
login, full duplex, Class 2, FC-tape and IP protocol,
creating a powerful SAN connectivity solution.
REAL WORLD SCALABILITY. The
SANblade 2200 Series supports key features that are critical
to real-world application performance. The high-speed,
on-chip RISC processor and high-level software interface
enable the SANblade 2200 Series to complete multiple I/O
operations without host intervention, creating the lowest
CPU utilization of any SAN adapter on the market. The result
is the ability to add multiple host adapters with linear
performance increases, expanding the reach of your SAN with
minimal hardware investment. To further boost performance,
QLogic's configuration utility provides tunable parameters
for application-specific needs, and our industry-leading
Reduced Interrupt Operation (RIO) allows you to
significantly reduce CPU interrupts per I/O.
PRACTICAL SOFTWARE
SOLUTIONS. The SANblade 2200 Series is designed for
maximum functionality in the SAN. Cutting-edge SAN utilities
like QLogic Management Suite provide advanced capabilities
for remote configuration and management, load-balancing and
LUN-masking. Enhanced software drivers include support for
SAN-critical features including concurrent SCSI/IP and
FC-tape. Plus, QLogic's unique software architecture
simplifies integration, with an easy host software migration
path between parallel SCSI and Fibre Channel applications.
The SANblade 2200 Series is far more than just hardware -
it's a complete I/O solution.
PROVEN INTEROPERABILITY.
QLogic ships more Fibre Channel controller solution than any
other supplier and our I/O controllers connect every type of
SAN end-node including hard disk and tape drives, RAID
controllers, tape libraries, UNIX and NT servers, storage
sub-systems and video workstations. We're also driving the
standard for SAN interoperability, with a full suite of OS
drivers and extensive Fibre Channel testing in SAN
environments. You can feel confident that a QLogic Fibre
Channel connection is the right connection.
