8200 Series
Multi-Port 1Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet-to-PCIe
Converged Network Controllers
Overview
The 8200 Series controllers represent QLogic’s second generation of Converged Network Controllers, supporting simultaneous LAN
(TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI) traffic at line-rate, 10Gbps Ethernet speed. This convergence of networking
traffic lowers 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 power and cooling costs. In addition, these controllers are fully compatible
with existing Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage, providing investment protection for existing infrastructure.
Highlights
DATA SHEET
• Dual-port, line-rate 10Gbps throughput for moving large amounts
of data and eliminating server I/O bottlenecks
• Full hardware offload for FCoE and iSCSI for faster application
performance and denser server virtualization
• Stateless offloads for TCP/IP traffic for faster networking
performance
• Support for switch agnostic I/O virtualization (NIC partitioning)
Design Flexibility
The 8200 Series of Converged Network Controllers includes three models
intended for LAN on motherboard (LOM) solutions: cLOM8214, cLOM8214KR (with integrated 10GBase-KR PHY), and cLOM8214-RJ (with integrated
10GBase-T PHY). This series also includes the EP8214, intended for
embedded storage target applications.
Superior Performance
The 8200 Series controllers support full hardware offload for FCoE and
iSCSI protocol processing. QLogic’s FlexOffload
server CPU to perform other tasks. Consequently, server applications can
run faster and virtualized servers can support more virtual machines (VMs).
Very few controllers in today’s market truly support full hardware offload;
most rely on the server CPU for FCoE and iSCSI protocol processing.

features free up the
Lower Data Center Costs
• Integrated PHYs shrink the footprint on the circuit board and reduce
design complexity
• Converged SAN and LAN traffic for reduced data center capital and
operating expenses
• Compatible with existing Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage
infrastructure
• Battle-hardened QLogic Fibre Channel and iSCSI driver stacks
ensure the highest level of SAN reliability and uptime
Virtualization Optimized
With QLogic’s new NIC partitioning (NPAR) technology, one Converged
Network Controller is viewed by the server OS as a flexible mix (up to four
per physical port) of standalone NICs, FCoE adapters, and iSCSI adapters,
with the ability to allocate guaranteed bandwidth to each virtual adapter.
This unique feature is switch agnostic—it is not necessary to pair an
8200 Series controller with any specific 10GbE switch model to enable
partitioning.
Proven Reliability
The 8200 Series cLOM8214, cLOM8214-KR, and cLOM8214-RJ controllers
are compatible with the same Fibre Channel and iSCSI software driver
stacks that have been deployed and battle-hardened in millions of
previous installations. These drivers are common across QLogic’s lineup
of Fibre Channel and iSCSI adapters, simplifying revision management in
heterogeneous environments.
The 8200 Series controllers reduce data center costs by converging
data and storage networking. 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.
Simplified Management
Networking, FCoE, and iSCSI management is easy with QLogic’s new,
unified management application, QConvergeConsole
single pane-of-glass management for QLogic’s broad product line of
storage and networking adapters and controllers. The 8200 Series also
has API support so that it can be managed by other popular third-party
management tools, including native operating system (OS) management
tools for networking.

Investment Protection
The EP8214 shares compatible APIs with QLogic’s 3100 Series adapters
(networking), 8100 Series adapters (FCoE), and 4000 Series adapters
(iSCSI), making it easy to leverage existing initiator and target mode drivers
when developing similar drivers for the EP8214.
