QLE3044 Intelligent Ethernet Adapter. The QLE3044 is a quad port 1GbE
Intelligent Ethernet adapter designed for various applications such as
virtualization; network security appliances; cluster computing; IP content
delivery systems; grid computing; database clustering; Network Attached
Storage (NAS); and storage and backup servers.
Performance Optimized. The QLE3044 is a high-performance Intelligent
Ethernet adapter that can support offload of TCP/IP tasks, significantly
improving throughput of servers, server appliances, and storage platforms, all
while reducing host CPU utilization. This allows overall system performance
to scale dramatically.
NetSlice Technology. In the dynamic data center environment, managers
need flexible solutions that can evolve along with the technology to protect
current investments in virtualization and server consolidation. The QLogic
NetSlice architecture addresses these requirements by incorporating a
unique degree of programmable support for virtualization. The NetSlice
architecture creates a platform that exports a number of independent
virtual interfaces, with each virtual interface utilizing a share of the existing
(hardware) resources. Each virtual interface is serviced in a fair manner.
Optionally, each interface can be assigned a priority that determines how
much of a share of the underlying resources are allocated to that interface.
Strong isolation is built around each interface to ensure that one interface
does not adversely affect another.
Investment Protection. The QLE3044 is built around QLogic’s revolutionary
Protocol Processing Engine architecture and allows for the support of
multiple protocols on the same hardware. QLogic also uses common drivers
across all Intelligent Ethernet (10GbE and 1GbE) adapters, which reduces
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Unmatched Expertise. QLogic is a leading supplier of high performance
network infrastructure solutions including Fibre Channel, Ethernet, iSCSI,
InfiniBand, and Converged Network adapters.
