QLogic now offers a quad-port Network Daughter Card (NDC) with four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity ports for Dell PowerEdge 12G rack servers. This network adapter leverages QLogic's long-standing industry leadership in Ethernet, providing high levels of performance, efficiency, and scalability for the enterprise data center.

For more effective utilization of the 10GbE bandwidth, the QLogic 57840S-based NDC offers Switch Independent Partitioning, which enables the segmentation of each 10GbE port into two virtual ports with flexible allocation of bandwidth to each port. This allows IT organizations to improve resource utilization while lowering infrastructure and operational costs.
