QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel products build on generations of Fibre Channel certifications over the last decade
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec 1 -- QLogic Corp., a leading supplier of high performance network infrastructure solutions, today announced that its 8Gb Fibre Channel adapters and switches have now been certified with products from more than 35 leading server, network, storage and application vendors. This latest milestone builds on the company's 1Gb, 2Gb, and 4Gb Fibre Channel certified products over the past decade. Achieving these certifications reinforces the ubiquity of QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel offerings throughout the entire ecosystem of servers, storage, routers and storage management applications. Regardless of what hardware, OS or application, IT professionals are currently using, they can purchase and deploy QLogic 8Gb products, backed by a decade of industry-wide certifications, with complete confidence that their 8Gb Fibre Channel networks will be fully interoperable.
"When customers purchase certified 8Gb Fibre Channel products from QLogic, they're really buying a decade of certified interoperability," said Frank Berry, vice president of marketing, QLogic Corp. "We've run rigorous tests with industry-leading server, storage, network and application vendors over the past 10 years certifying 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel products, improving quality and ease-of-use with every generation. With the industry transition from 4Gb to 8Gb Fibre Channel now in full swing, QLogic gives customers the peace of mind that they need to implement high performance Fibre Channel networks with complete confidence."
QLogic 2500 Series 8Gb Fibre Channel adapters have been certified with products from: AC&NC, CA, Citrix, Cloverleaf, CommVault, DataCore, Dell, EMC, FalconStor, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, IBM, Infortrend, iQstor, LSI Corporation, Microsoft, NetApp, Newtech, Nexsan, Oracle, Overland Storage, Promise Technology, Quantum, Sanbolic, Sun, Symantec, Texas Memory Systems, Virtual Iron, VMware, Xiotech and Xyratex.

QLogic 2500 Series Adapters -- Transforming Server Connectivity into Competitive Advantage
The QLogic 2500 Series is a family of 8Gb Fibre Channel-to-PCIe Gen2 adapters that are designed for next generation virtualized data centers with powerful multi-processor, multi-core servers. QLogic 2500 Series adapters are optimized for virtualization, power, RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability), security and management to transform server connectivity into competitive advantage. The 2500 Series provides complete investment protection by maintaining backward compatibility with previous Fibre Channel network and PCIe host bus speeds, and are set apart from all other 8Gb Fibre Channel adapters thanks to two breakthrough innovations under the QLogic Star Power Green Initiative -- Dynamic Power Management and Cool HBA technologies. Dynamic power management is the unique ability of the QLogic 2500 to sense the type of PCI Express bus that is present and consume only the amount of power necessary to run at full speed. QLogic Cool HBA technology is the ability of QLogic products like 2500 Fibre Channel adapters to operate without any air flow, unlike competitive products which require fans to be cool.
SANbox 8Gb Fibre Channel Switches -- For Superior Scalability
The SANbox 5800 Series is a family of 8Gb Fibre Channel switches designed to provide the most cost-efficient way to scale a storage network. In addition to blazing 8Gb performance, SANbox 5800 Series switches help eliminate the cost and complexity of trunking inter-switch links (ISLs) with QLogic stackable switch technology that's turbo-charged by the industry's first implementation of 20Gb Fibre Channel.
With stackable switch technology, SAN architects can scale a fabric with no wasted ports for ISLs, fees for trunking, or disruption to the fabric, and with 20Gb Fibre Channel stack interconnects, the SANbox 5800 is the only 8Gb Fibre Channel switch with the ability to handle more than 8Gb of inter-switch traffic without the cost and complexity of trunking.

Parallel Computing Without Parallel Programming
Jul 10 | | Engineers, scientists, and other domain experts depend on the productivity enabled by very high-level language (VHLL) tools like MATLAB® and Python. However, as datasets grow larger and programs get more sophisticated, ordinary desktop computers can no longer keep up. The paper explores how to run VHLL programs on high-performance platforms without low-level reprogramming. Work with large datasets and complex algorithms without sacrificing ease of use or reducing productivity.
