QLogic samples 25/100Gb Ethernet Controller

QLogic Corp. says that the company is sampling adapters based on the cLOM8514 network controller with Tier-1 server and storage OEMs. This is the industry’ first 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) capable network controller. It is also the first controller that can support the emerging 25 Gigabit Ethernet standard, and the first controller that is able to support dual-port, full line speed 40GbE performance with a PCIe Gen3 x16 host interface. The new QLogic® controller covers the breadth of Ethernet speeds from 10Gb to 100Gb with fully offloaded support for iSCSI, FCoE and low latency RDMA (RoCE & iWARP) services.
