QLE3142 Intelligent Ethernet Adapter.
The QLE3142 is a dual port 10GbE
Intelligent Ethernet adapter designed for various applications such as
virtualization; network security appliances; cluster computing; IP content
delivery systems; grid computing; database clustering; Network Attached
Storage (NAS); and storage and backup servers.

delivery systems; grid computing; database clustering; Network Attached
Storage (NAS); and storage and backup servers.
Performance Optimized.
The QLE3142 is a high-performance Intelligent
Ethernet adapter that can support offload of TCP/IP tasks, significantly
improving throughput of servers, server appliances, and storage platforms, all
while reducing host CPU utilization. This allows overall system performance
to scale dramatically.

Advanced Features.
In the dynamic data center environment, managers
need flexible solutions that can evolve along with the technology to protect
current investments in virtualization and server consolidation. The QLogic
NetSlice architecture addresses these requirements by incorporating a
unique degree of programmable support for virtualization. The NetSlice
architecture creates a platform that exports a number of independent
virtual interfaces, with each virtual interface utilizing a share of the existing
(hardware) resources. Each virtual interface is serviced in a fair manner.
Optionally, each interface can be assigned a priority that determines how
much of a share of the underlying resources are allocated to that interface.
Strong isolation is built around each interface to ensure that one interface
does not adversely affect another. Dynamic power management modulates
core frequency and core voltage to keep the controller operating at its ideal
thermal and performance profile, increasing the reliability and uptime of the
network. This feature provides a built-in warning and shutdown mechanism
to protect the adapter in case of an extreme thermal condition. The
QLE3142 also uses Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), which provides
broad interoperability and ease of device configuration/management in a
virtualized environment.

Investment Protection.
The QLE3142 is built around QLogic’s revolutionary
Protocol Processing Engine architecture and allows for the support of
performance enhancements on the same hardware. QLogic also uses
common drivers across all Intelligent Ethernet (10GbE and 1GbE) adapters,
which reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
