The Dell QME8262-k Mezzanine Converged Network Adapter supports simultaneous LAN (TCP/IP) and SAN (Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI) traffic at line-rate, 10Gbps Ethernet speed. Convergence of traffic lowers data center costs by eliminating the need for separate LAN and SAN infrastructure. Data centers now need fewer adapters, cables, and switches, which also means reduced power and cooling costs. In addition, these adapters are fully compatible with existing Fiber Channel and iSCSI storage, providing investment protection for existing infrastructure.
