WHITE PAPER

Key Findings

The QLogic 8200 Series 10Gb Converged Network Adapter offers greater efficiency in scaling (including maximum throughput and

overall CPU efficiency) compared to the Emulex

UCNA (OCe10102). The QLogic adapter better supports the additional demands of a

converged, virtualized data center. Our results demonstrate the following:

• Bandwidth: The QLogic adapter can achieve near line rate (38Gbps) of bidirectional throughput with low (a little more than 10

percent) CPU utilization

• Networking Workload: The QLogic adapter offers up to 49 percent higher networking throughput efficiency while requiring up to

31 percent less CPU resources compared to the Emulex adapter

• Teaming: In a link aggregation configuration, QLogic’s adapter delivers up to 27 percent or 3.9Gbps higher throughput as workloads

increase, as well as up to 49 percent higher throughput efficiency (Mbps/CPU utilization) compared to the Emulex adapter

• FCoE Workload: For real-world applications (typically 4/8KB block sizes) QLogic’s adapters outperform Emulex by up

to 53.9 percent

The results verify that the QLogic 8200 Series Converged Network Adapter outperforms the Emulex UCNA in throughput per CPU

utilization for both networking and converged traffic while using only a fraction of the host resources, leaving plenty of room for data

center servers to efficiently scale applications and virtual servers.
