Fibre Channel to SBus Host Bus Adapters (2GB)

QSB2342: Dual Port, Fiber Optics, 64-bit, Standard SBus 25Mhz

Designed as the optimum choice for Sun Microsystems servers implementing SBus, the SANblade QSB2342 host bus adapter (HBA) offers 2-Gb Fibre Channel combined with 64-bit, 25-MHz SBus. This union provides the performance and interoperability needed for highly scalable storage area networks (SANs).

These multimode optic HBAs are specifically targeted for SUN enterprise servers in direct attach storage (DAS) as well as SAN environments.

The QSB2340 is the right solution for the added boost in performance if you require a single port, 2-Gb SBus HBA. If you want to maximize connectivity and optimize port density, the QSB2342, a dual channel version of the QSB2340, is the perfect fit.
