Converged Network Adapter (CNA) Emulex OCe14401

As a member of the CNA 14000 family, the OCe14401 uses a 40Gbit/s DCB (Converged Enhanced Ethernet) infrastructure for networking and storage, reducing capital expense (CapEx) for adapters, switches and cables, and operational expense (OpEx) for power, cooling and IT administration. The OCe14401 adapter increases data center IT agility and scalability, as well as optimation of the server hardware utilization by scaling high density virtualization.
