DATA SHEET

Overview

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

usage 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 makes 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.
