QLogic 2600 Series Hyper-V Virtual Server Engine - Manual (Page 8)

QLogic Server Adapters
Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V and Xeon E5 streamline the process of moving VMs and their associated
storage with Live Migration and Live Storage Migration and support low-latency networking traffic with
SR-IOV. Moving terabytes of data across VMs and the migration of virtual servers requires low-latency,
high-performance I/O adapters. QLogic offers a family of server adapters for Gen 5 Fibre Channel, 10GbE, or
converged network connectivity, providing the bandwidth necessary for VM scalability and to power Tier-1
application workloads.
Performance Turbo Chargers
The latest generation of Converged Network Adapters from QLogic
support Ethernet LANs, NAS, iSCSI SANs, and FCoE SANs, as well as native
Fibre Channel SANs.
