25G Ethernet White Paper

Enterprise organizations continue to push the envelope as they deploy the latest technologies in order to keep up with exponential data growth and global operations. The recent availability of Intel® “Grantley” processors delivers a welcome boost to server performance. However, leading cloud providers are clamoring for even more network performance in order to meet the needs of their web-scale data centers and cloud-based services.

This white paper by QLogic explains how, driven by the bandwidth requirements of cloud data centers, 25 Gb/s Ethernet over a single lane will have a significant impact on server interconnect interfaces. It will help reduce the CAPEX and OPEX while meeting the necessary I/O bandwidth requirements in data centers. QLogic leads the market by announcing the industry’s first controller that can support the emerging 25GbE standard.
