• 10Gbps per-port maximum throughput for high bandwidth storage (SAN) and networking (LAN) traffic
• Full hardware offload for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI protocol processing
• Full support for TCP/IP and Ethernet performance enhancements such as Priority-Based Flow Control (802.1Qbb), jumbo frames, checksum offloads, and segmentation offloads
• NIC partitioning (NPAR)1 support for faster networking performance in virtualized environments

The QME8242-k Mezzanine adapter manages LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (FCoE, iSCSI) 10Gbps Ethernet speed. The Qlogic adapters attach to the server with a PCIe Gen2 x8 bus speeds.  The QME8242-k manages hardware offload for FCoE and iSCSI computing which ulitemetly reduces cpu utilization and offers high I/O.   The adapter is perfect for consolidation in virtualized environments.  Other features include NIC Partitioning which divides each ethernet port into a maximum of 4 partitions or virtual ports.  The cards virtual ports can then be managed to NIC, FCoE or iSCSI utilization.
