Qlogic FastLinQ QL45212-DE Dual Port 25GbE SFP28 Network Adapter - Low Profile
QLogic FastLinQ QL45212-DE Low Profile Dual Port 25GbE SFP28 Adapter from Dell™ enables network bandwidth to be cost effectively scaled in support of next-generation server and storage solutions residing in cloud and web-scale data center environments. It Utilize 25GbE results in a single-lane connection similar to existing 10GbE technology but it also delivers 2.5 times greater bandwidth. Compared to 40GbE solutions, the 25GbE technology provides superior switch port density by requiring just a single lane (versus 4 with 40GbE), along with lower costs and power requirements.Moreover, QLogic is a leading innovator driving 25GbE technologies across enterprise and cloud market segments.
<b>Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)</b>
By utilizing a single lane of copper the QL4521x-DE Adapters reduce the cost and complexity of the network architecture, while providing a more cost effective seamless path to 100GbE and protecting critical business investments.
<b>Increased VM Density</b>
The QL4521x-DE Adapters support the latest releases of multi-core systems, such as Microsoft® Hyper-V™ Virtual Machine Queues and Linux® Multi-Queue, enabling increased VM density, improved quality of service and optimized VM performance.
<b>Increased Scalability for Virtual Servers and Networks:</b>
Overlay networking (tunneling) capabilities with stateless offload support for network virtualization using Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN), Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation (NVGRE), Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) and Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (GENEVE). These capabilities optimize performance while reducing the cost of network encapsulation for virtualized workloads and hybrid cloud deployments.
