Award-winning QLogic SANblade 2300 Series Fiber Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) offer 2 Gigabit (Gb) performance for demanding storage area networks (SANs) and are available in various form factors.

QLogic SANblade HBAs are the industry's highest-performing and most widely deployed host adapter solutions for server, networking, storage and clustering solutions. Independent performance benchmarks continue to affirm that SANblade 2300 Series HBAs are the leading transaction-process host adapters. Increasing overall system efficiency and performance, the 2300 Series completes I/O requests independent of the host.

SANblade 2300 Series HBAs have uniquely integrated a RISC processor, the Fiber protocol engine and transceivers into a single, efficient Fiber Channel controller chip that increases reliability and performance by lowering CPU utilization. The 2300 Series HBAs are validated by every major OEM including Dell, EMC, HDS, HP, IBM, and Sun. The 2300's extensive certification from major server and storage manufacturers make it the perfect choice for multi-platform requirements.

The QLogic SANsurfer Tool Kit CD is included with every 2300 Series HBA. Contained on the CD is SANsurfer software that simplifies management by making setup, configuration and maintenance easy along with enabling features such as remote management, load balancing, fail-over and persistent binding. In addition, the easy to use SANblade Control FX wizard based utility is provided for installation, configuration and diagnostic functions. SANblade Control FX is delivered with your drivers. The SANblade 2300 is also fully compatible with management applications that support the SNIA API, allowing IT managers to reduce HBA management time and lower their total cost of ownership.

The SANblade 2300 Series architecture is the result of more than 15 years of progressive development and testing. QLogic's proven architecture delivers higher overall reliability and enables advanced functionality with its single chip integration, placing QLogic years ahead of its competitors. The SANblade 2300 Series also has proven interoperability with all major software applications, hardware platforms and operating systems.
