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 utilizationwith full hardware offloads. This extreme performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today''s powerful multiprocessor, multicoreservers.In addition, support for powerful virtualization features make this adapter ideal for virtualized environments that need excellent I/O performanceto service growing numbers of virtual machines (VMs). The ability to support multiple protocols simultaneously on the same hardware offersmulti-tenancy flexibility, which is ideal for private and public cloud environments.
