White PaPer
Customers integrating 10Gb ethernet technology into their SaNs and
infrastructure expect optimum levels of throughput and iOPS with increased
VM density on a single server and adapter. the QLogic 8300 Series 10Gbe
Converged Network adapter demonstrates the required performance
characteristics to meet these needs.

Summary
QLogic continues to be the industry leader in delivering high-performance
i/O solutions to data center customers. the performance of the QLogic
8300 Series 10Gbe Converged Network adapters is best-in-class and
provides highest performance, superior scalability, unparalleled flexibility,
and enhanced reliability.
Meeting the demands of more data, more devices, and more users than ever
before and planning for growing data, application, and storage requirements
dictates the need for high-performance i/O delivery. it administrators know
that choosing the right adapter for their SaN infrastructure can have a strong
impact on the performance, flexibility, and scalability of their enterprise data
centers. the results discussed in this white paper demonstrate that QLogic
8300 Series 10Gbe Converged Network adapters deliver the requirements
needed in the data center and outperform and provide higher scalability
than emulex OCe11102 adapters in real-world environments. the QLogic
adapters also allow it administrators to set their convergence strategy at
their own pace by enabling the same physical adapter to support 16Gb
Fibre Channel SaNs or 10Gbe converged networks. the QLogic 8300 Series
10Gbe Converged Network adapters will be in the data center throughout
the lifetime of the server.
