QLogic Server Adapters
Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V and Xeon E5 streamline the process of moving VMs and their associated
storage with Live Migraon and Live Storage Migraon and support low-latency networking trac with
SR-IOV. Moving terabytes of data across VMs and the migraon of virtual servers requires low-latency,
high-performance I/O adapters. QLogic oers a family of server adapters for Gen 5 Fibre Channel, 10GbE, or
converged network connecvity, providing the bandwidth necessary for VM scalability and to power Tier-1
applicaon workloads.
Performance Turbo Chargers
The latest generaon of Converged Network Adapters from QLogic
support Ethernet LANs, NAS, iSCSI SANs, and FCoE SANs, as well as nave
Fibre Channel SANs.
