QLogic QLE8362 - Network adapter - PCIe 3.0 x4 / PCIe 2.0 x8 low profile - 10Gb Ethernet x 2 - for MXA UCS C220 M3; UCS C220 M3, C240 M3, C420 M3, Managed C240 M3

Future-proof design. The QLogic 8300 series adapters can convert from a 10GbE Converged Network adapter to a 16Gb Fiber Channel adapter. Based on QLogic I/O Flex technology, the adapters flexibility simplifies and reduces cost for customers who want to deploy an Ethernet SAN today and migrate to a Fiber Channel SAN in the future. Virtualization optimized. The 8300 series adapters, powered by QLogic VMflex technology, support QLogics switch agnostic NIC partitioning (NPAR) technology as well as industry standard I/O virtualization technologies. SR-IOV can be utilized to allow enhanced I/O performance in virtualized environments and improved VM scalability for increasing storage and networking workloads. Support for multiple protocols simultaneously. The QLogic 8300 series adapters reduce data center costs by converging FCoE, TCP/IP, and iSCSI traffic simultaneously on the same hardware. This convergence results in buying fewer adapters, cables, and switches. In addition, convergence offers lower power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier LAN and SAN management. Leadership, confidence, and trust. QLogic is the undisputed leader in Fiber Channel and Converged Network adapters, with over 15 years of experience and more Fiber Channel and FCoE ports deployed than any other vendor. QLogics Fiber Channel and Converged Network adapters have been qualified by all major server and storage OEMs to provide networking, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and FCoE connectivity from host and storage to fabric. Simplified management. QLogics QConvergeConsole (QCC) provides single-pane-of-glass management for the companys broad product line of storage and networking adapters (Fiber Channel, converged networking, NIC, and iSCSI). In addition, QLogic supports all major APIs, giving the end user the flexibility to manage their QLogic Fiber Channel adapter portfolio using third-party management tools, including a vCenter plug-in for VMware. Superior application performance. The QLogic 8300 series of Converged Network adapters, powered by QLogic FlexOffload technology, consume the lowest CPU to drive FCoE and iSCSI storage traffic at line rate across all ports. With support for over 1.2 million I/O transactions per second, QLogic adapters deliver the best storage application performance in virtualized and non-virtualized environments.
