BENEFITS
Simplified Migration to 10GbE
Simplified Migration to 10GbE
QLogic 3400 Series Adapters feature a high-speed flexible architecture
and switch-independent NIC partitioning (NPAR) technology. Designed for
both physical and virtual environments, this switch-agnostic approach
enables administrators to split up the 10GbE network pipe to divide and
reallocate bandwidth and resources, as needed, at the adapter level.

Customers deploying rack and tower servers with multiple GbE adapters
can greatly benefit from consolidating multiple network adapters and
freeing up PCI slots for other add-in card upgrades.

With NPAR, 3400 Series Adapters can further partition their network
bandwidth into multiple virtual connections, making one dual-port
adapter appear as eight adapters to the OS for use by the applications.
