HP Chooses QLogic HBAs for Refresh of Its MSA SAN 'Starter Kits' Tuesday November 21, 8:00 am ET Proven 4Gb Performance, Plus Advanced Windows and Linux Interoperability Features Drive HP's Decision biz.yahoo.com ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- QLogic Corp. (NASDAQ:QLGC - News), the leader in Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), stackable switches and blade server switches, today announced that Hewlett-Packard Corporation (HP) has chosen the QLogic 4Gb PCI-Express(tm) HBAs for refresh of HP's popular MSA1500 and MSA1000 SAN ``Starter Kits.'' These bundles utilize the HP StorageWorks FC1142SR PCIe 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA. Companies that invest in HP's new ProLiant servers with PCI-Express slots can use these kits to streamline implementation and achieve the highest SAN performance and reliability. The exceptional 4Gb performance of QLogic's PCIe HBAs -- which generate an industry-leading 150K IOPs per channel -- as well as smooth interoperability with common Windows and Linux drivers for 2Gb and 4Gb HBAs, were significant factors in HP's choice of QLogic as a component vendor for its customer SANs. In addition, the Linux driver now embodies a superior failover feature, helping provide enhanced availability for customer SANs and consequent higher investment value. HP's latest choice underscores its relationship with QLogic, a leading SAN provider that is gaining prominence as one of the industry's premier vendors of high-performance HBAs. The QLogic SANPro(tm) product family is an important part of the 4Gb HBA category sought by the HP community of customers, resellers and sales organizations.
