10GbE FCoE Converged Network Adapters

QLogic 8300 Series QLogic 8300 Series
The 8300 Series adapters are QLogic’s fourth generation of Converged Network Adapters, supporting simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI) traffic at line rate, 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) speeds—at extremely low CPU utilization with full hardware offloads. This extreme performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today’s powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers. In addition, support for powerful virtualization features make this adapter ideal for virtualized environments that need excellent I/O performance to service growing numbers of virtual machines (VMs). The ability to support multiple protocols simultaneously on the same hardware offers multi-tenancy flexibility, which is ideal for private and public cloud environments.

The 8200 Series Converged Network Adapters support concurrent LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (FCoE, iSCSI) traffic over a shared 10Gb Ethernet link. The adapters showcase industry-leading LAN networking performance, full hardware offload for FCoE and iSCSI protocol processing, and an extensive set of features that enhance system virtualization. In addition, the 8200 Series Adapters leverage QLogic’s existing Fibre Channel and iSCSI drivers, making the adapters the most dependable and battle-hardened Converged Network Adapters on the market.

The 8100 Series Converged Network Adapters support concurrent LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (FCoE) traffic over a shared 10Gb Ethernet link. The 8100 Series Adapters support full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing, which frees up the server CPU to perform other tasks like running applications or host Virtual Machines. The 8100 Series Adapters also support iSCSI using software initiators available from most operating systems.
