Description
Product Overview of Dell QLE2742-DEL
Dell QLE2742-DEL is a dual-port FC (Fibre Channel) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that offers 32GB bandwidth. It is designed to provide high-speed connectivity for storage area networks (SANs) in data centers. This HBA is manufactured by QLogic, which is a leading provider of networking infrastructure solutions.
Host Bus Adapter
A Host Bus Adapter is a hardware device that allows a computer to communicate with a storage device over a network. An HBA acts as an interface between the computer’s CPU and the storage device’s disk interface. The HBA takes data from the CPU and transmits it to the storage device, and vice versa. HBAs are commonly used in SANs, where multiple computers need to access shared storage.
Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology that is commonly used in SANs. Fibre Channel provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity between servers and storage devices. Fibre Channel networks can transfer data at speeds of up to 128GB per second.
Features of Dell QLE2742-DEL Dual Ports Sanblade 32GB PCI-E FC Host Bus Adapter
- Dual Ports: The Dell QLE2742-DEL HBA comes with two ports, which means it can connect to two separate storage devices simultaneously. This provides redundancy in case one port or storage device fails.
