IBM Qlogic 10GB Virtual Fabric Adapter For Blade Center (00y3332)

The QLogic 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter and Virtual Fabric CNA for IBM® BladeCenter® are based on the third-generation QLogic Converged Network Adapter 8200 ASIC, which supports simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI) traffic at line-rate, 10 Gbps Ethernet speed. This convergence of networking traffic can lower data center costs by eliminating the need for separate LAN and SAN infrastructure. Data centers now need fewer adapters, cables, and switches, which also means reduced management, power, and cooling costs.
