The industry's first Virtual Machine Identification (VMID) demonstration, in collaboration with Brocade, provides end-to-end visibility and insight into application performance for VMware ESXi with QLogic Enhanced Gen 5 and Gen 6 Fibre Channel adapters. Visit Brocade booth 935 this week to see how:


    --  QLogic StorFusion(TM) VMID technology tags individual Fibre Channel
        frames with Virtual Machine IDs enabling the delivery of application
        level services to virtual workloads in a QLogic Gen 6 Fibre Channel
        infrastructure

The NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) focused demonstrations deliver customer choice in fabrics and significantly reduce latency and CPU utilization for the growing flash-based storage market. These demonstrations at QLogic booth 654 include:


    --  NVMe over Fabrics with Fibre Channel - running on QLogic Gen 6 (32Gb)
        Fibre Channel (FC) Adapters, the demonstration shows how NVMe-oF using
        FC extends the reliability, availability and performance of existing FC
        investments for next-generation storage and reduces overall latency on
        FC networks.
    --  NVMe over Fabrics with Ethernet - showcasing the benefits of QLogic's
        latest FastLinQ((TM)) 25Gb Ethernet (25GbE) Adapters with RDMA over
        Converged Ethernet (RoCE), the NVMe-oF using Ethernet demonstration
        leverages the Cavium XPliant 3.2Tb Protocol Independent Ethernet Switch
        and extends NVMe over a large-scale Ethernet-based network using the
        efficiency and performance of RDMA, while lowering overall latency on
        Ethernet networks.
    --  NVMe Direct - leveraging QLogic FastLinQ 45000 Series Controllers, the
        NVMe Direct demonstration enables high efficiency and high-performance
        peer-to-peer interactions between QLogic 25GbE RDMA NICs and NVMe flash
        storage, lowering CPU utilization and increasing IOPS.

And a variety of QLogic 10GbE Ethernet adapter technologies will be the focal point of sessions delivered in Lenovo Booth 2023. These include:


    --  Virtualize Your Network: Learn how QLogic Ethernet offerings can improve
        data center efficiency with features such as NIC Partitioning (NPAR) and
        Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). Monday, Aug. 29th 2:00pm -
        2:15pm.
    --  QLogic StorFusion(TM) Technology: Learn how server and storage
        administrators can improve performance, simplify deployment and increase
        availability with QLogic Fibre Channel (FC) adapters. Monday, Aug. 29th
        5:30pm - 5:45pm.
    --  Storage Offloads: Learn how QLogic 10GbE iSCSI and FCoE offloads reduce
        the workload on server CPU, freeing up critical resources to accelerate
        virtualized business applications and maximizing VM density. Tuesday,
        Aug. 30th 11:15am - 11:30am.
