Network adapter - PCIe 3.0 x8 low profile - 10 Gigabit SFP+ x 2
The QLogic 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters support simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet [FCoE] and iSCSI) traffic at 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) line rate speeds. The 8400 Series provides extremely low host CPU usage by enabling full hardware offloads.
The 8400 Series leverages QLogic's long-standing industry leadership in Ethernet by providing the highest levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise data center.
For more effective utilization of the 10GbE bandwidth, the QLogic 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters offer switch-independent NIC partitioning (network partitioning [NPAR]), which enables segmentation of a single 10GbE port into multiple network partitions and dynamic allocation of bandwidth to each port. The segmentation allows IT organizations to optimize resource utilization while lowering infrastructure and operational costs.
The acceleration of data center convergence - triggered by virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN), and multitenant cloud computing platforms - demands high-performance, converged network solutions. The QLogic 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters are the solution of choice for workload-intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high-performance 10GbE connectivity solution.
The 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters support today's most compelling set of powerful networking virtualization features: SR-IOV, switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR), tunneling offloads (VXLAN and NVGRE), and industry-leading performance, thus enhancing the underlying server virtualization features.
The QLogic 8400 Series Adapter features a high-speed, flexible architecture driven by independent ultra-high performance engines. It delivers the industry's highest performance to meet and exceed the peak demands of the most demanding enterprise application or virtual platform.
The 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters are PCIe Gen3-based adapters that have one of the lowest power consumption profiles in the industry.
QLogic adapters offer users peace of mind and confidence, as proven through the company's market share leadership: #1 in Converged Network Adapters. The 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters offer the highest reliability, availability, and serviceability options that customers rely on to meet and exceed stringent service-level agreements for enterprise data centers.
