QLogic, Veeam Collaborate to Deliver 10GbE Converged Networking Solutions for NFV

QLogic, a leading supplier of high performance network infrastructure solutions, has collaborated with data center solutions provider Veeam Software to provide complete solutions that leverage the advantages of 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) converged infrastructure for virtualized environments. 

According to QLogic, the 10GbE 8400 Series is a true converged network adapter with hardware-based Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI offloads to maximize storage networking performance. The 8400 Series is the solution of choice for workload-intensive computing environments, providing reliable, high-performance 10GbE connectivity for converged infrastructures. QLogic 10GbE 8400 Series adapters that feature switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR) technology, is designed for both bare-metal and virtual environments. The switch-agnostic approach enables administrators to split up the 10GbE network pipe to divide and reallocate bandwidth and resources at the adapter level, as needed. This reduces implementation time and lowers the total cost of 10GbE migrations, said QLogic.
QLogic added that the 8400 Series 10GbE converged network adapters support today's most compelling network virtualization features, including: SR-IOV, enhanced and concurrent NIC partitioning, and tunneling offloads (VXLAN and NVGRE). This greatly enhances customers' choices and flexibility, allowing them to create more agile virtual server platforms. QLogic 8400 Series 10GbE adapters also deliver network function virtualization (NFV) features for high performance overlay networks.

Data centers are creating greater virtual machine (VM) densities and are virtualizing mission-critical workloads. This trend is increasing the demand for shared storage; flatter, more scalable networks; higher bandwidth and more I/O capacity. QLogic 10GbE 8400 Series converged network adapters and Veeam Availability Suite v8 are part of a new breed of high-performing and flexible solutions that have simplified the management of these virtualized environments.

The Veeam Availability Suite v8, combined with QLogic 10GbE 8400 Series converged network adapters, provides backup and recovery for today's modern data center VMs, guest OS files and applications. By leveraging a high-performance converged networking infrastructure to perform backup and replication tasks, system administrators can relieve I/O multipathing and CPU cycles from the VMware or Hyper-V infrastructure. Organizations can lower their data center's TCO and improve service levels by minimizing downtime and disruption with the fastest possible recovery and the lowest RTPO.
