Overview:
The Brocade 2-port 10GbE Converged Network Adapter is a part of a leading Converged Ethernet solution for IBM BladeCenter that offers native Ethernet and fiber channel connectivity - maximum bandwidth and performance - and simplicity in a converged environment. This card combines the functions of a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and Network Interface Card (NIC) on one PCIe 2.0 x8 cards. This expansion card supports full Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol offload and allows fiber channel traffic to converge onto 10Gbps Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) networks. FCoE and 10Gbps CEE operations run simultaneously.
