1 System Requirements
The QConvergeConsole is a Web-based client/server application that allows for
centralized management and configuration of QLogic adapters within the entire
network (LAN and SAN).
On the server side, the QConvergeConsole runs as an Apache Tomcat™
application server. After the application is launched on the application server, you
can connect to the QConvergeConsole through a browser, either locally on the
server or remotely from another computer. Your browser window becomes the
client used to connect to servers that host the QLogic adapters and connected
storage devices within the network.
For optimum performance, the QConvergeConsole requires the hardware,
software, and operating systems listed in this section:
 “Hardware Requirements” on page 1-1
