The FastLinQ 45000 Series Intelligent Ethernet family includes 25GbE and 100GbE adapters with direct attach copper (DAC) connections that support LAN (TCP/IP) traffic at full line-rate speeds and key features for enterprise-class data centers and private/public cloud deployments:

• Scalable networks with 2.5X bandwidth for 25GbE when compared to 10GbE and more than 2X port density when compared to 40GbE
• Optimum server performance with PCI Express® (PCIe®) 3.0 x8 (25GbE) and x16 (100GbE)
• Low latency and high throughput with multi-protocol RDMA with support for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), RoCE v2 and Internet wide area RDMA protocol (iWARP)
• Enhanced CPU efficiency for networking tunneling with stateless offloads for VXLAN, NVGRE, GRE and GENEVE
• Advanced server virtualization features such as NPAR and SR-IOV
• High performance network storage with full protocol offloads for iSCSI, iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) and FCoE
• Simplified deployment, troubleshooting and lifecycle management using the QLogic QConvergeConsole® GUI, QLogic Control Suite™ CLI, vCenter Plug-in, and OpenStack integration
• Enhanced management interface with Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) over PCIe support
• Network boot support for PreBoot Execution Environment (PXE) 2.0
