The QMH2562: A High-Performance Fibre Channel Mezzanine Card for HP c-Class BladeSystem The QMH2562 is a powerful and versatile PCI Express based 8Gb Fibre Channel mezzanine card designed specifically for the HP c-Class BladeSystem. With twice the data throughput of its predecessor, the 4Gb mezzanine card, the QMH2562 is optimized for virtualization, low power usage, management, security, reliability, availability, and serviceability. Virtualization at its Best The QMH2562 allows for multiple logical (virtual) connections to share the same physical port, providing each connection with its own resources and the ability to be managed independently. This feature makes it ideal for virtualized environments, where efficient resource allocation is crucial. Power and Security in One The QMH2562 takes advantage of QLogic's StarPower technology, ensuring a power-efficient HBA. This technology offers features such as power and bandwidth intelligent PCIe link training and low-power switching power supplies. Additionally, the QMH2562 enables SAN-level authentication, fabric-level isolation, and end-to-end data integrity, making it a secure and reliable choice for your data storage needs. Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability The QMH2562 is not only optimized for performance and security, but also for reliability, availability, and serviceability. It is backward compatible with 4Gb and 2Gb Fibre Channel speeds, ensuring seamless integration with your existing infrastructure. With features such as authentication through FC-SP, data integrity through T10 CRC, and access control in virtualized environments, the QMH2562 is a reliable and efficient choice for your data storage needs.
