The QLogic® FastLinQ® 8400 Series 10GbE Converged Network Adapters are OEM-proven adapters that provide exceptional value in delivering industry-leading features and performance to enable the most efficient and agile software-defined data centers (SDDNs). Designed for the most demanding server and network virtualized environments, the 8400 Series Adapters provide full hardware offload support for iSCSI and FCoE protocols as well as VXLAN/NVGRE and SR-IOV to boost server CPU efficiency and maximize application performance.
The QLogic® FastLinQ® 8400 Series 10GbE Converged Network Adapters support simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fibre Channel over Ethernet [FCoE] and iSCSI) traffic at 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) line rate speeds. The 8400 Series Adapter provides extremely low host CPU usage by enabling full hardware offloads.
