FCoE and iSCSI Hardware Offload. The QME8242-k adapter supports<br />
full hardware offload for FCoE and iSCSI pro<strong>to</strong>col processing. QLogic’s<br />
FlexOffload ® reducesserverCPUutilizationforI/Ooperations,whichleads<br />
<strong>to</strong> faster application performance and higher levels of consolidation in<br />
virtualizedsystems.<br />
Convergence. The QME8242-k adapter reduces data center costs by<br />
converging data and s<strong>to</strong>rage networking. This convergence results in<br />
buying fewer adapters, cables, and switches. In addition, convergence<br />
offerslowerpowerconsumption,reducedcooling,andeasierLANandSAN<br />
