QLogic Server Adapters
vSphere 5.1 and Xeon E5 processors streamline the procedure of moving VMs and their associated storage
with vMoon and Storage vMo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 for increased VM scalability and to power Tier-1 applicaon workloads.
Turbocharged Fuel Injecon
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.
