QLogic 10GbE High-Performance Adapters for
Dell™ PowerEdge™ Servers
Proven Ethernet Technology for
Rack, Tower, and Blade Servers
The family of QLogic 10GbE Converged Network Adapters
extends Ethernet’s proven value set and economics to
public and private cloud-based data centers, providing the
highest performance combined with the lowest processor
utilization.
OVERVIEW
As the deployment of bandwidth-intensive applications such as public
and private cloud computing continues to increase, IT administrators
are turning to 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) technology for costeffective and exible methods of addressing growing network and
storage trafc demands. A key component of the 10GbE network
is the network adapter with network protocol processing ofoad
capabilities for greater host processor utilization.
QLogic’s 10GbE adapters allow servers to fully leverage the
performance attributes of 10GbE, while also improving processor
utilization, extending the life of existing switch investments and
effectively using the 10GbE bandwidth. As a result, 10GbE end-toend performance is comparable to more specialized and costlier
cloud-based data center server to fabric interconnects. With 10GbE,
organizations can expand application capabilities, consolidate
network and storage trafc onto a common infrastructure, increase
scalability, and improve responsiveness to address dynamic
businessenvironments.
HIGHEST PERFORMANCE AND SUPERIOR FLEXIBILITY
As a leading provider of high-performance Ethernet solutions, QLogic
is offering the world’s fastest 10GbE networking solution for the 13th
generation of PowerEdge blade, rack, and tower servers. The QLogic
57840S, 57810S and 57800S controllers provide the highest throughput,
lowest processor utilization, and the highest small packet performance for
Ethernet connectivity. The QLogic adapters for Dell PowerEdge Servers are
listed in Table 1.
