Preparing for the Future of a Converged Network
The growth of server virtualization, along with the need for more physical I/O (input/output) segmentation in bladed virtualized environments, has led to the demand for more blade network interface card (NIC) ports and increased I/O per server blade. Dell meets the need with a high port count solution that provides more ports on both the server I/O card and the blade switch. Extend your network with the following server network adapters and host bus adapters (HBAs):
- Converged Network Adapters combine the powerful capabilities of storage (Fibre Channel) and networking (Ethernet) devices. This approach helps improve total cost of ownership (TCO) by significantly reducing power, cooling and cabling costs through the use of a single adapter.
- Internet SCSI (iSCSI) Adapters help lower the barriers to adoption of shared/consolidated storage for virtualization through reduced cost and complexity.
- Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters provide a new level of server connectivity through unmatched hardware capabilities and unique software configurability.
