Flexible Configuration Options

The Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA's Dual Port feature also offers flexibility in configuration options. Users can choose to connect each port to separate devices or utilize both ports for load balancing purposes. Load balancing evenly distributes the traffic across the two ports, optimizing performance and preventing bottlenecks.

This flexibility allows users to tailor the HBA's configuration to their specific needs and infrastructure requirements. Whether it's maximizing performance or ensuring redundancy, the Dual Port feature provides the versatility needed for various use cases.

Height: Full Height

Efficient Cooling and Space Optimization

Improved Heat Dissipation

The Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA features a Full Height design, which offers several benefits for users. One of the key advantages is improved heat dissipation. The Full Height form factor allows for larger heat sinks and fans, facilitating better cooling of the HBA.

Efficient cooling is essential for maintaining optimal performance and prolonging the lifespan of electronic components. By dissipating heat effectively, the Full Height design ensures that the HBA operates within its recommended temperature range, preventing thermal throttling or potential damage caused by overheating.

Space Optimization

Another advantage of the Full Height design is space optimization. This form factor is larger than the Low Profile alternative, providing more room for additional components and connectors on the HBA board.

For servers or workstations with ample space inside their chassis, the Full Height HBA allows for easier installation and connectivity. It eliminates the need for additional adapters or extenders, simplifying the setup process and reducing potential points of failure.

Compatibility with Traditional Server Designs

The Full Height form factor is widely compatible with traditional server designs. Many server models are specifically designed to accommodate Full Height expansion cards, making it easier to integrate the Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA into existing server infrastructures.

By choosing a Full Height HBA, users can ensure compatibility with their current server hardware and avoid any potential compatibility issues or modifications required to fit alternative form factors.

Interface: PCI-E

High-Speed Data Transfer

Unleashing the Power of PCI-E

The Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA features a PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface, which delivers high-speed data transfer capabilities. The PCI-E interface is specifically designed for modern computing systems, offering significant improvements over previous generations of interfaces.

With PCI-E, users can take full advantage of the HBA's capabilities and achieve faster data transfer rates. This is particularly beneficial for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as data analytics, video streaming, and large-scale file transfers.

Low Latency and Improved I/O Performance

In addition to high-speed data transfer, the PCI-E interface provides low latency and improved I/O (Input/Output) performance. The direct connection between the HBA and the server's main processor minimizes communication delays, resulting in faster response times and reduced latency.

Reduced latency is crucial for real-time applications where immediate data processing or rapid access to storage is essential. By leveraging the PCI-E interface, users can ensure smooth operation and seamless performance in demanding environments.

Future-Proof Connectivity

The PCI-E interface is a widely adopted standard in modern computing systems, ensuring future-proof connectivity. As technology advances and new generations of servers and workstations emerge, the PCI-E interface remains compatible, allowing users to seamlessly upgrade their infrastructure without worrying about compatibility issues.

Investing in an HBA with a PCI-E interface provides users with a reliable and future-proof solution that can adapt to evolving technological requirements.

Speed: 32GB

Unleashing High-Bandwidth Applications

Unparalleled Data Transfer Speed

The Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA boasts an impressive speed of 32GB, offering unparalleled data transfer capabilities. With this high-bandwidth capability, users can unleash the full potential of their applications, significantly improving overall system performance.

Whether it's handling massive data sets, supporting virtualization environments, or enabling real-time analytics, the 32GB speed ensures that data flows smoothly and quickly, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing productivity.

Reduced Backup and Migration Times

Fast data transfer is particularly beneficial for backup and migration processes. With a 32GB speed, users can significantly reduce backup and migration times compared to lower-speed HBAs.

By accelerating these critical operations, organizations can minimize the impact on their daily operations, ensuring that data backups are completed within the available maintenance windows. This not only improves efficiency but also reduces the risk of data loss or extended downtime.

Future-Proof Investment

The 32GB speed of the Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA represents a future-proof investment. As data-intensive applications become more prevalent and demand for higher bandwidth increases, having an HBA capable of handling these requirements is crucial.

By choosing an HBA with a 32GB speed, users can ensure that their infrastructure is ready to meet future challenges and take advantage of emerging technologies without the need for immediate upgrades or replacements.

Protocol: Fibre Channel

Optimized Storage Connectivity

Reliable Data Transmission

The Qlogic QLE2772N-DEL HBA utilizes the Fibre Channel protocol for storage connectivity. Fibre Channel is a highly reliable and efficient protocol designed specifically for high-performance storage area networks (SANs).

By leveraging Fibre Channel, users can enjoy reliable data transmission with low latency and minimal packet loss. This ensures that critical data is safely transferred between servers and storage devices without compromising integrity or speed.

Scalability and Flexibility

Fibre Channel offers exceptional scalability and flexibility, making it ideal for growing infrastructures. With support for numerous devices, Fibre Channel allows users to easily expand their storage capacity or connect multiple servers to a shared storage environment.

Furthermore, Fibre Channel supports long-distance connectivity, enabling users to connect geographically dispersed locations without sacrificing performance or reliability. This is particularly valuable for organizations with distributed data centers or remote office locations.
