Data Sheet

Overview

the 8200 Series adapters represent QLogic’s third generation of Converged Network adapters, 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 adapters are fully compatible with existing
Fibre Channel and iSCSI storage, providing investment protection for existing infrastructure.

the 8200 Series adapters improve on previous generation products with the following features:

PCIe

®

Gen2 x8 support for higher dual-port throughput

advanced virtualization with NIC partitioning (NPaR)

Full hardware offload for FCoe and iSCSI
