Qlogics converged network adapters (CNAs) 8000-family can be on the operating system Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 insert. Munich, August 18, 2008 – the converged network offered now by QLogic adapters (CNAs) 8000-family, which support 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), let operating system officially presented itself at the end of July Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 insert. The interoperability of the products is now obtained certification, which was preceded by thorough testing. 8000 CNAs can use the QLogic data and consolidate storage networks. The reliability and the supported speed of 10 gigabits per second is equivalent to the performance of current fibre channel host bus adapters, the total cost of ownership lower fall out. The vote of the 8000 FCoE adapter on red has facilitated Enterprise Linux 4.7 customers migrating to converged networks.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7, red has Enterprise Linux 4.7 wait according to the manufacturer’s with even more sophisticated Virtualisierungs-, encryption and security features on. In terms of power, speed and debugging the new version to be superior to its predecessor. Fibre Channel over Ethernet FCoE-standard creates the precondition for the transport of fibre channel frames over Ethernet networks, allowing to operate a unified fabric in data centers. For the connection of servers to networks and storage no longer different network adapters or host required adapter bus, rather the calculator can be now over a single converged network link adapter. The cabling effort decreases, as less switch ports are claimed – taken together, this simplifies the networking infrastructure considerably. Quotes FCoE is attractive for businesses moving to 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Accordingly, we expect strong growth and assess the market potential as extremely high. By the same author: Etienne Locoh. The same applies to the use of the open-source Linux operating system, here we go by a similar Development of. The tests carried out in the framework of the certification clearly showed that the FCoE converged network adapter from QLogic provide a better solution as 10 Gigabit Ethernet network cards equipped with software initiators. This is primarily because that FCoE logs directly on the adapter are processed and thus relieve the CPU of the server. Thanks to this, and the high supported transmission speed of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, CNAs especially in virtualized environments prove extremely beneficial ‘ Dennis Martin, founder and President of Demartek analyst house
