QLE2660-Dell is a 16GB Single Port PCI-E Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) manufactured by Dell. It is a high-performance networking interface card that connects servers to storage area networks (SANs) over a fibre channel network. In this article, we will discuss QLE2660-Dell HBA in detail.
Fibre Channel NetworkFibre Channel (FC) is a high-speed network technology used to connect servers to storage devices such as disk arrays and tape libraries. FC provides high-speed, low-latency data transfer and supports multiple protocols such as SCSI, FICON, and FCIP. Fibre Channel networks are widely used in enterprise data centers because of their reliability, performance, and scalability.
Host Bus Adapter (HBA)A host bus adapter (HBA) is a networking interface card that connects a computer or server to a storage device over a storage area network (SAN). An HBA provides the physical connection between the server and the SAN and handles the transport of data between them. An HBA converts data between the server and SAN protocols and performs other functions such as error checking, flow control, and data buffering.
QLE2660-Dell is a high-performance HBA designed to deliver maximum throughput and low latency for enterprise applications. It is a single port PCIe Gen3 x8 HBA that supports 16GFC, 8GFC, and 4GFC speeds. The HBA is compatible with Dell PowerEdge servers and can be installed in any available PCIe slot.
