• 10GbE per port maximum throughput for high bandwidth storage and networking traffic
• Over one million FCoE IOPS reduce latency in high transaction intensive applications and virtualized environments
• Single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) support for faster performance in virtualized environments
• Reduced hardware, cabling, and management costs by enabling more applications to run on a single server with converged traffic to top-of-the-rack switch
• Decreased power and cooling costs by using the fewest PCI express lanes in PCIe generation 3 environments
• Overlapping protection domains (OPD) to ensure a high level of reliability as data moves to and from the PCI bus
• Future-proof design

The 8300 series adapters are QLogic's fourth generation of converged network adapters, supporting simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI) traffic at line-rate, 10Gbps Ethernet (GbE) speeds - at extremely low CPU utilization with full hardware offloads. This extreme performance eliminates potential I/O bottlenecks in today's powerful multiprocessor, multicore servers.
In addition, support for powerful virtualization features make this adapter ideal for virtualized environments that need excellent I/O performance to service growing numbers of virtual machines (VMs). The ability to support multiple protocols simultaneously on the same hardware offers multi-tenancy flexibility, which is ideal for private and public cloud environments.

• Leadership, confidence, and trust
  QLogic is the undisputed leader in Fiber Channel and Converged Network adapters, with over 15 years of experience and more Fiber Channel and FCoE ports deployed than any other vendor. QLogic's Fiber Channel and Converged Network adapters have been qualified by all major server and storage OEMs to provide networking, Fiber Channel, iSCSI, and FCoE connectivity from host and storage to fabric.
• Virtualization optimized
  The 8300 series adapters, powered by QLogic VMflex technology, support QLogic's switch agnostic NIC partitioning (NPAR) technology as well as industry standard I/O virtualization technologies. SR-IOV can be utilized to allow enhanced I/O performance in virtualized environments and improved VM scalability for increasing storage and networking workloads.
• Superior application performance
  The QLogic 8300 series of Converged Network adapters, powered by QLogic FlexOffload technology, consume the lowest CPU to drive FCoE and iSCSI storage traffic at line rate across all ports. With support for over 1.2 million I/O transactions per second, QLogic adapters deliver the best storage application performance in virtualized and non-virtualized environments.
• Support for multiple protocols simultaneously
  The QLogic 8300 series adapters reduce data center costs by converging FCoE, TCP/IP, and iSCSI traffic simultaneously on the same hardware. This convergence results in buying fewer adapters, cables, and switches. In addition, convergence offers lower power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier LAN and SAN management.
• Simplified management
  QLogic's QConvergeConsole (QCC) provides single-pane-of-glass management for the company's broad product line of storage and networking adapters (Fiber Channel, converged networking, NIC, and iSCSI). In addition, QLogic supports all major APIs, giving the end user the flexibility to manage their QLogic Fiber Channel adapter portfolio using third-party management tools, including a vCenter plug-in for VMware.
• Future-proof design
  The QLogic 8300 series adapters can convert from a 10GbE Converged Network adapter to a 16Gb Fiber Channel adapter. Based on QLogic I/O Flex technology, the adapter's flexibility simplifies and reduces cost for customers who want to deploy an Ethernet SAN today and migrate to a Fiber Channel SAN in the future.
