Key Findings
Support for increasing server and storage workloads, the need for higher application performance, and the ability to meet critical
requirements of virtual environments are key factors in the selection and deployment of 10Gb ethernet. Due to its rich feature set and
unique architecture, the QLogic
® 3200 Series intelligent ethernet adapter delivers superior performance compared to the intel ® X520
ethernet Server adapter and provides the following benefits:
• Bandwidth: Superior networking line-rate throughput for enterprise applications through the optimization of tCP/iP and UDP traffic
• CPU Efficiency: Significantly reduced host CPU processing required, delivering the native OS performance needed for virtual
machine (VM) deployment
• Maximize Virtualization: increased, dedicated bandwidth for VMs and associated applications, higher i/O performance in virtualized
environments, and conservation of PCie slots in all server environments using VMflex™ technologies in tier-1 OeM-specific or
industry-standard i/O virtualization implementations
• Management Simplicity: easy management of ethernet adapters in heterogeneous OS environments with QConvergeConsole ® , a
single-pane-of-glass management console
