Recently, IT Brand Pulse announced the results of its annual Brand Leader Awards. For the third year in a row, QLogic validated its industry leading technology by grabbing the Market Leader title in Fibre Channel Host Bus Adaptors (HBAs). We were also voted the leader in the price, performance and reliability categories.

In this survey, IT professionals were asked which vendors they perceive as the leader in ten categories, including Fibre Channel HBAs. For each category, respondents chose a market, price, performance, reliability, service & support, and innovation leader.

It’s exciting to have IT professionals select our Fibre Channel HBAs as most outstanding products in its category. Following the November 2011 IT Brand Pulse Survey where QLogic captured both the Innovation and Price Leader categories for Converged Network Adapters, we are delighted to once again be recognized as the Market Leader in Fibre Channel HBAs for the third straight year.

With more than 15 years of experience and six generations of Fibre Channel products that have been qualified by all major server OEMs in multiple form factors, we provide the most established, proven Fibre Channel stack in the industry, and have shipped more than 11 million Fibre Channel ports to date. Being recognized as the Fibre Channel HBA Market Leader is proof that our hard work is paying off. The IT Brand Pulse survey validates our history of providing innovative and reliable I/O solutions, such as our new FlexSuite adapters that combine 16Gb FC and 10Gb Ethernet converged networking into a single-architecture design.
