The QLA200 offers a reliable, high-performance, dependable storage area network (SAN) to the small and medium enterprise (SME) market.Designing a successful user experience requires understanding their needs, expectations, experience, and usage patterns. By applying this knowledge to the HBA and software, QLogic has created a design that requires minimum user effort while providing maximum user satisfaction. The wide adoption of installation/configuration wizards eliminates the complexity and intricacies of Fiber Channel SANs. Emphasis on ease-of-use at every step assures a successful, enhanced user experience. Default factory settings and autodetect configuration (similar to Windows XP) eliminates the need to know about each and every knob and button on the dashboard.The QLA200's technology makes a huge leap in out-of-the-box plug and play SAN setup. An illustrative quick-start guide, a detailed user manual, and extended support (including online, via email, and by phone) make installation, configuration, maintenance, and upgrades easy for even a novice user.Rather than a philosophy of one size fits all, the QLA200 technology addresses the needs of the SME market segment. QLogic brings optimal performance (400 MBps throughput) for the best possible price to SME customers. QLogic has worked with its customers to determine the ideal feature set and with suppliers to adopt highly reliable, low-cost components.
