Did you know?
QLogic 8Gb HBAs enable end-to-end SAN Solutions using 8 Gb Fibre Channel
technology for System x servers. They provide the ability to build high-
performance, highly available SANs and are easy to set up and integrate into
existing SAN configurations.
These adapters take advantage of QLogic’s StarPower technology, which provides
energy-smart features.
StarPower technology offers dynamic and adaptive power-management features
such as power-optimized and bandwidth-optimized intelligent PCI-Express link
training, low-power switching power supplies, and a thermally efficient layout
that requires lower airflow.
