Description: The QLA2200 Series is based on QLogic's award-winning Fiber Channel architecture and is designed for performance in the Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. The QLA2200 Series provides all the benefits of Fiber 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 QLA2200 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. The QLA2200 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 QLA2200 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 the industry-leading Reduced Interrupt Operation (RIO) allows you to significantly reduce CPU interrupts per I/O.
