Server consolidation through virtualization of the enterprise data center improves server/processor utilization and lowers data center capital and operational costs. IT administrators must ensure that none of the subsystems become a bottleneck for successful deployment of a virtualized and consolidated data center. The evolution of consolidated server deployments and the move to 8 Gb Fiber Channel infrastructure requires higher scalability when connecting servers to storage. To meet the growing demands of consolidated and virtualized environments, enterprise IT administrators must deploy a scalable, high-performance adapter architecture that can address the demands placed by multiple virtual machines (VMs) or guest operating systems, as well as applications, in virtualized environments running simultaneously on a single physical server.
To help IT administrators make the best, most informed adapter choice, QLogic performed a series of head-to-head performance benchmarks showing the I/O performance and scalabi
