ALISO VIEJO, Calif., June 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Complementing its strengths in storage and server networking solutions, QLogic Corp. (Nasdaq:QLGC) today expanded its data networking portfolio with the introduction of the all-new 3100 Series Intelligent Ethernet Adapters, offering fast 10Gb/sec Ethernet connectivity for bandwidth-intensive applications such as virtualization, database clustering, IP content delivery and grid computing.

Optimized for virtual environments — and fully compatible with hypervisors such as VMware VSphere 4.0, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer 5.2 — the adapters enable the creation of Virtual Private Interfaces, which provide dedicated bandwidth and security for individual applications and improved utilization of existing resources. The adapters are currently available through QLogic channel partners worldwide.

According to Dell’Oro Group, 10Gb Ethernet network adapter revenue is expected to increase, on average, by almost 50 percent annually from 2008 to 2013 reaching nearly $800 million. “10Gb Ethernet network adapter port shipments are expected to, on average, almost double annually, reaching over four million ports shipped during the same timeframe,” said Seamus Crehan, vice president, Dell’Oro Group.

Very cool, bringing further offerings in the 10GB Ethernet space has to be a good thing for the evolution and adoption of it as a platform, more user choice, more options to find the right suite of products to meet my business requirements is a welcome announcement, I’m off to read up more about these adapters, I wonder if they are available for blades and rack servers.
