SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GIGABYTE
Technology (TWSE: 2376), a leading vendor of high performance
server hardware, today announced that it has selected Cavium's
(NASDAQ: CAVM), QLogic FastLinQ 10GbE and 25GbE Ethernet adapters
and controllers for adoption across a broad portfolio of servers
and differing form factors. These controllers support a
comprehensive set of virtualization, Universal RDMA and
multi-tenant services, enabling GIGABYTE server solutions to
deliver higher performance options for the most sophisticated data
centers, telcos and cloud providers.
"GIGABYTE servers - across standard, Open Compute Platform (OCP)
and rack scale form factors - deliver exceptional value,
performance and scalability for multi-tenant cloud and virtualized
enterprise datacenters," said Etay
Lee, GM of GIGABYTE Technology's Server Division. "The
addition of QLogic 10GbE and 25GbE FastLinQ Ethernet NICs in OCP
and Standard form factors will enable delivery on all of the tenets
of open standards, while enabling key virtualization technologies
like SR-IOV and full offloads for overlay networks using VxLAN,
NVGRE and GENEVE."
"QLogic 10GbE/25GbE Ethernet NICs, with Universal RDMA are
designed to accelerate access to networking and storage while using
a general purpose network," said Rajneesh Gaur. "Integration on
GIGABYTE motherboards and servers will provide customers with an
innovative solution delivering flexibility in choice of RDMA and
cost savings for next generation Cloud, Web2.0 and Telco Data
centers."
Purpose built for accelerating and simplifying datacenter
networking, QLogic FastLinQ Ethernet technology in GIGABYTE servers
delivers:
- Broad Spectrum of Ethernet Connectivity
Speeds – 10/25GbE to host the most demanding
enterprise, telco and cloud applications and deliver scalability to
drive business growth.
- Universal RDMA – Industry's only network adapter that
delivers customers technology choices and investment protection
with concurrent support for RoCE, RoCEv2 and iWARP.
- Network Virtualization Offloads – Acceleration for
Network Virtualization by offloading protocol processing for VxLAN,
NVGRE, GRE and GENEVE, enabling
customers to build and scale virtualized networks without
impacting network performance.
- Server Virtualization – Optimize infrastructure costs
and increase virtual machine density by leveraging in-built
technologies like SR-IOV and NIC Partitioning (NPAR) that deliver
acceleration and QoS for workloads and infrastructure traffic.
- Network Function Virtualization (NFV) – Leading small
packet performance up to 100GbE Ethernet connectivity, and
integration with DPDK and OpenStack, enables Telco's and NFV
application vendors to seamlessly deploy, manage and accelerate the
most demanding NFV workloads.
- OpenStack Integration: Cavium QLogic technologies, such
as the Plug-in for Mirantis® Fuel for automatic SR-IOV
configuration across multiple OpenStack nodes, QConvergeConsole™
driven physical, and logical topology maps and functionality to
deliver QoS for tenant workloads, are the key integration areas
that enable hyperscale deployments with OpenStack.
QLogic 10/25GbE FastLinQ Ethernet NIC technology – in both
Standard and OCP form factors – is planned to be available on
GIGABYTE high performance server hardware starting Q1,
2017.
