QLogic QLE3442-CU-CK Network Adapter PCI Express 3.0 x8 10 Gigabit Ethernet Used

• Delivers full line-rate 10GbE performance across both ports
• Enables provisioning of 10GbE ports for greater deployment flexibility through switch-independent NIC partitioning
• Boosts host CPU efficiency with hardware offloads for NVGRE and VXLAN tunnels
• Improves reliability and interoperability - leverages QLogic' s market-proven Ethernet architecture and software

The QLogic 3400 Series Intelligent Ethernet Adapters - available in 10GBASE-T
(RJ45), SR optic, and direct attach copper (DAC) - support LAN (TCP/IP)
traffic at 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) line-rate speeds. The 3400 Series provides
extremely low host CPU usage by enabling full hardware offloads. The 3400
Series leverages QLogic' s long-standing industry leadership in Ethernet by
providing the highest levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for
the enterprise data center. For more effective utilization of the 10GbE
bandwidth, the QLogic 3400 Series Intelligent Ethernet Adapters offer switch-
independent NIC partitioning (network partitioning [NPAR]), which enables
segmentation of a single 10GbE port into multiple network partitions and
dynamic allocation of bandwidth to each port. The segmentation allows IT
organizations to optimize resource utilization while lowering infrastructure
and operational costs. The evolution of data centers - triggered by high-
density server virtualization, software-defined networking (SDN), and
multitenant cloud computing platforms - demands a high-performance 10GbE
solution that boosts CPU efficiency, and reduces capital expenditures (CAPEX)
and operating expense (OPEX) of the migration to 10GbE. The QLogic 3400 Series
Intelligent Ethernet Adapters are the solution of choice for workload-
intensive computing environments, providing a reliable, high-performance 10GbE
connectivity solution.
