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).

SANblade QLA 4010 iSCSI HBA

SCSI OVER IP: iSCSI. IT managers now have a choice when considering storage area networks (SANs). With the new industry standard iSCSI protocol, Ethernet networks can now be used to build SANs. iSCSI based SANs will provide the same benefits as Fibre Channel SANs, but they use TCP/IP, which is more familiar to many IT managers. In addition, iSCSI enables seamless integration to wide area networks (WANs), enabling new applications such as remote storage.

ENHANCED TOTAL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. The QLA4010 implements the complete protocol stack including Ethernet, TCP/IP and iSCSI on a single chip and offloads all I/0 protocol processing from the host system. This complete offload of the host eliminates the protocol processing load of TCP/IP, and also reduces CPU interrupts. At 1-Gbps speeds, these I/0 protocol burdens placed on the host system are significant and reduce the bandwidth available to other applications running on the host. The QLA4010 maximizes I/O bandwidth and allows the host system to deliver optimum application performance. The QLA4010 architecture combines a hardware state-based design with embedded processors to provide the optimum mix of performance and flexibility. This flexible architecture allows firmware upgrades to support changes to the iSCSI standard. Updated firmware, drivers, and management software are available on the QLogic website, support.qlogic.com.

Features and Benefits

Supports current iSCSI standard, with firmware downloads as standards evolve
Complete iSCSI and TCP/IP protocol offload
SCSI initiator, initiator/target, and target modes
Support for challenge authentication protocol (CHAP), internet storage name service (iSNS), service locator protocol (SLP), and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
1-Gbps, Full-duplex line rate data transfer
PCI-X 133-MHz backward compatible with 32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI
Integrated SAN management software
Comprehensive suite of software drivers

Converged Network Apapters

Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) consolidate the data networking of a NIC with the storage networking of an FC HBA onto a single 10-GbE Ethernet adapter, resulting in significant datacenter cost savings while preserving existing investment in Fibre Channel storage and tools.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Technology FCoE provides an opportunity to reduce data center costs by converging data and storage networking. Standard TCP/IP and Fibre Channel traffic can both run on the same high speed 10-GbE Ethernet wire, resulting in cost savings through reduced adapter, switch, cabling, power, cooling, and management requirements. FCoE has gained rapid market traction because it delivers excellent performance, reduces data center TCO, and protects current data center investment. High Performance The QLE8042 CNA provides superior data and networking storage performance at 10-GbE speeds, which benefits bandwidth hungry applications. This performance also enables increased levels of server virtualization, as multicore servers running dozens of virtual machine OS images will need the cutting edge 10-GbE bandwidth to prevent I/O starvation. Lower TCO The QLE8042 reduces data center costs through convergence. Now, one CNA can do the work of a discrete FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and Ethernet NIC. This convergence also means fewer cables, fewer switches, less power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier management. The QLE8042 also preserves familiar FC concepts such as WWNs, FC-IDs, LUN masking, and zoning, thereby eliminating training costs that would be required for a new storage technology. Investment Protection The QLE8042 and FCoE are designed to preserve existing investment in Fibre Channel storage and core Ethernet switches and routers for data networking. The QLE8042 leverages the same identical software and driver stacks that have been deployed and battle-hardened in millions of previous installations. Proven Fibre Channel & Ethernet Exprerience QLogic has an unparalleled advantage in delivering this new CNA technology. QLogic is the undisputed leader in both FC and iSCSI HBAs, with years of experience providing FC and Ethernet based products. While some competitors have expertise in either networking or storage, no other I/O provider can match QLogic's expertise in FC and Ethernet hardware and software solutions.

iSCSI

The QLE8140 even supports iSCSI storage protocol using iSCSI software initiators, which are available with all major operating systems.

High Performance

The QLE8140 boosts system performance with 10Gbps speed and full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing. Cutting edge 10Gbps bandwidth eliminates performance bottlenecks in the I/O path with a 10X data rate improvement versus existing 1Gbps Ethernet solutions. Additionally, full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing reduces system CPU utilization for I/O operations, which leads to faster application performance and higher levels of consolidation in virtualized systems.

Lower TCO

The QLE8140 reduces data center costs through convergence. Now, one CNA can do the work of a discrete FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and Ethernet NIC. This convergence also means fewer cables, fewer switches, less power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier LAN and SAN management.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Technology

iSCSI

The QLE8142 even supports iSCSI storage protocol using iSCSI software initiators, which are available with all major operating systems.

High Performance

The QLE8142 boosts system performance with 10Gbps speed and full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing. Cutting edge 10Gbps bandwidth eliminates performance bottlenecks in the I/O path with a 10X data rate improvement versus existing 1Gbps Ethernet solutions. Additionally, full hardware offload for FCoE protocol processing reduces system CPU utilization for I/O operations, which leads to faster application performance and higher levels of consolidation in virtualized systems.

Lower TCO

The QLE8142 reduces data center costs through convergence. Now, one CNA can do the work of a discrete FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and Ethernet NIC. This convergence also means fewer cables, fewer switches, less power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier LAN and SAN management.

Investment Protection

The QLE8142 and FCoE are designed to preserve existing investment in Fibre Channel storage and core Ethernet switches and routers for data networking. The QLE8142 leverages the same identical software driver stacks that have been deployed and battle-hardened in millions of previous installations, and preserves familiar FC concepts such as WWNs, FC-IDs, LUN masking, and zoning.
