QLogic Server Adapters
vSphere 5.1 and Xeon E5 processors streamline the procedure of moving VMs and their associated storage
with vMotion and Storage vMotion 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 for increased VM scalability and to power Tier-1 application workloads.
