Description
Product overview of the QLogic QLE2660L Low-Profile Bracket
Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology used for storage area networks (SANs). It provides fast and reliable connectivity between servers and storage devices. Fibre Channel is a popular choice for high-performance storage environments because it can transfer large amounts of data quickly and has low latency.
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters
A Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) is a device that connects servers to Fibre Channel networks. The HBA acts as an interface between the server’s I/O bus and the Fibre Channel network. It allows the server to access storage devices over the Fibre Channel network.
QLE2660L QLogic 16GB Single Port PCI-E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
The QLE2660L is a Fibre Channel HBA from QLogic. It is a single port PCI-E adapter that provides 16GB/s of bandwidth. It is designed to connect servers to high-performance storage devices over a Fibre Channel network.
PCI-E Interface
The QLE2660L uses a PCI Express (PCI-E) interface to connect to the server’s I/O bus. PCI-E is a high-speed serial bus interface that provides fast data transfer rates. It is a popular choice for high-performance I/O devices such as network adapters and storage controllers.
16GB/s Bandwidth
The QLE2660L provides 16GB/s of bandwidth, which is a measure of how much data can be transferred in a given amount of time. This high bandwidth allows the adapter to transfer large amounts of data quickly, which is important for high-performance storage environments.
Single Port
The QLE2660L has a single port, which means it can connect to one Fibre Channel network at a time. This is sufficient for most applications, but some high-performance environments may require multiple ports for redundancy or increased bandwidth.
Fibre Channel Protocol Support
The QLE2660L supports the Fibre Channel protocol, which is a set of rules and standards for transferring data over Fibre Channel networks. The protocol ensures that data is transferred reliably and efficiently over the network.
Fibre Channel Topologies
Fibre Channel networks can be configured in several different topologies, including point-to-point, switched, and arbitrated loop. The QLE2660L supports all of these topologies, which makes it a versatile choice for connecting servers to different types of Fibre Channel networks.
Management Software
The QLE2660L comes with management software that allows administrators to monitor and configure the adapter. The software provides detailed information about the adapter’s status and performance, and allows administrators to configure settings such as bandwidth and port settings.
Compatibility
The QLE2660L is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It is also compatible with a wide range of servers and storage devices from different manufacturers.
Finally, the QLE2660L is a high-performance Fibre Channel HBA from QLogic. It provides 16GB/s of bandwidth and supports the Fibre Channel protocol and different network topologies. It is a versatile choice for connecting servers to high-performance storage devices over a Fibre Channel network.
