QLOGIC Single port PCIe Gen3 to 10Gb CNA Direct Attach Copper Adapter

The QLogic® 8400 Series Converged Network Adapters support simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet [FCoE] and iSCSI) traffic at 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) line rate speeds. The 8400 Series Adapter provides extremely low host CPU usage by enabling full hardware offloads.

*    PCI Express Gen3 x8
*    Delivers full line-rate 10GbE performance across both ports
*    Industry-leading storage (FCoE and iSCSI) transactional performance
*    Enables provisioning of 10GbE ports for greater deployment flexibility through switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR)
*    Boosts host CPU efficiency with hardware offloads for NVGRE and VXLAN tunnels
*    Improves reliability and interoperability—leverages QLogic’s market-proven Ethernet architecture and software
*    Network boot support:
-        iSCSI remote boot
-        FCoE boot from SAN
-        Pre-execution environment (PXE) 2.0
*    PCI-SIG® single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV)
*    Data center bridging (DCB)
*    Low-profile PCIe form factor
