November 24, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Continuing to expand its industry lead in converged networking, QLogic (NASDAQ: QLGC) announced its complete lineup of 8100 Series single chip converged network adapters  is now certified with VMware vSphere 4, the industry’s leading platform for data center virtualization, for both Fibre Channel over Ethernet  and 10Gb Ethernet applications.

The combination of QLogic(R) second generation CNAs with VMware vSphere 4 enables customers to attain a higher degree of data center efficiency — an Intelligent Converged Data Center — where thousands of virtual machines  supporting enterprise business applications run across densely packed rows of servers over converged, unified networks. In a VMware vSphere-based virtual data center with FCoE, customers can run all of their resources on a single high speed 10GbE data pipe, essentially cutting costs in half for cables, adapters, switches and management consoles.

The company said its 8100 series CNAs are seeing widespread deployments and now support all recent versions of the VMware platform, and are the only single chip CNAs generally available through leading Tier One OEM partners such as EMC, IBM and NetApp and over 1,000 channel partners and distributors worldwide.
