SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Cavium, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAVM), a leading provider of semiconductor
products that enable intelligent processing for Enterprise, Telco,
MSP and cloud data centers, announced the addition of a highly
scalable and PowerShell integrated management solution to its broad
offering of FastLinQ Ethernet adapter management solutions. The
QLogic ConvergeConsole(QCC) PowerKit seamlessly integrates with
Microsoft PowerShell to deliver an integrated, scriptable and
scalable solution for deploying and managing QLogic FastLinQ series
of 10/25/40/50/100GbE NICs across heterogeneous platforms. QLogic
FastLinQ Ethernet-based technology is highly extensible and
flexible, delivering a broad set of capabilities customized to
address the needs of the telco, enterprise, managed service
provider (MSP), cloud and storage markets. The ability to
streamline their administration through centralized cross-platform
and cross-protocol capabilities enhances network availability and
reduces management costs.
Infrastructure Management Challenges in Enterprise
Datacenters
IT administrators face many challenges and responsibilities when
it comes to maintaining the server and network infrastructure and
keeping downtime at a minimum, especially in large hybrid, Telco
and Cloud deployments. Depending upon the size of the organization
there are many components to keep track of, such as device
management, updates, patching, new application configurations,
compliance requirements, and issues that arise as the result of
human error or environmental factors. Conventional approaches do
not deliver centralized control and integration with Operating
System infrastructure and processes, or require a steep learning
curve of vendor specific syntaxes, increasing the cost and
complexity of management and creating silos of management
toolchains.
Integration and Automation Aware Approaches reduce
TCO
In its fifth generation, Microsoft PowerShell delivers an
integrated, robust and scalable task automation and configuration
management framework for cross-platform server infrastructure
management. QLogic ConvergeConsole PowerKit, which is now generally
available, seamlessly integrates into Microsoft PowerShell to
deliver a consistent and powerful set of new capabilities directly
into PowerShell. This enables management efficiencies, improves
time to deploy and implements best practices when managing QLogic
FastLinQ 10/25/40/50/100GbE Ethernet adapters. IT administrators no
longer need to learn a new scripting language or vendor specific
syntaxes.
"We designed our FastLinQ Ethernet-based products to address the
rapidly changing needs of the data center and the specific needs of
mega data centers run by telecommunications providers, MSPs and
enterprise private clouds," said Rajneesh Gaur, general manager and
vice president of Ethernet Adapter Group, Cavium. "The latest
innovation from Cavium, the QCC PowerKit, enables our broad
base of customers to significantly reduce TCO by delivering an
integrated and scalable management solution."
QConvergeConsole PowerKit Advanced Capabilities
Include:
- Comprehensive Management Capabilities – With over 40
unique command-lets, the QCC PowerKit has the ability to manage all
the advanced features of the QLogic FastLinQ Ethernet portfolio,
including Network Partitioning (NPAR), SR-IOV, RDMA and server boot
configurations. The QCC PowerKit enables IT administrators to
enhance overall performance and speed troubleshooting with robust
diagnostic capabilities.
- Scalable, Scriptable and Remote Management – The QCC
PowerKit has the ability to automate key management tasks for
unparalleled efficiency in adapter configuration and management.
This increases management efficiency and reduces overall TCO.
- Cross Platform and Integrated – The QCC PowerKit can be

broad operating system support. Support for various Windows and
Linux versions ensures seamless integration and operation for
enterprise, Telco and Cloud network environments.
